    81. @codinghorror I fear that some disquiet has overtaken your soul, and squeezed out the life that formerly shone forth from it.
    82. @codinghorror So when I tell people I met you I should mention that you don't like white chocolate? Or are you blaming the Wumpus?
    83. @AndrewArdisone Heckle: yes; Use ad hominem attacks: no. Ad hominem attacks are not debate; they end meaningful discussion.

    92. The Discovery is landing at Edwards tonight at 5:53 PST, according to @NASA. Listen for the boom.
    93. @ddribin Thanks! Now if only I could use blocks during iPhone development…
    94. @robymom Malaclypse is my computer. It's the nom de plume on the Principia Discordia.
    95. Any CoreFoundation/DTrace ninjas out there? http://bit.ly/1ezGhy
    96. This response to Glen Beck by @poniewozik is awesome: http://bit.ly/JDLOh

    104. @siracusa It's 10.6 only; running Leopard?
    105. Honestly thought the #912dc signs in this photo were hilarious photoshop jobs, mocking the protesters. But they're real. http://bit.ly/4EnpF
    106. @joshroby Replied, but not the reply you want.
    107. @joshroby Also: your comments boxes need a white-see-through-background thingy.
    108. @chockenberry Is that why Twitterrific insists on staying in this space, and not following me?
    109. This is either giving me shivers or shudders; not sure which. http://bit.ly/iA2q8
    110. @chockenberry Awesome! Thanks!
    111. Really, really hoping that Intuit doesn't screw up @mint. Idea: throw out every Intuit product I've ever seen, use @mint codebase instead.
    112. @nnw_iPhone Hooray! And congrats!

    122. "I like the happy clowns!" -@MikaylaRoby "Why don't you knock them down?" -@SonjaRoby Yes, they're playing @RampChamp. You should, too!
    123. @robymom Osama bin Laden was using it as a safe haven, aided by the Taliban. We went in to find him. Now trying to time leaving safely.
    124. @robymom Maybe the country falls apart. But apart with Afghanistan is a relative term. If no Taliban or Al Qaeda threat, is that stability?

    136. Visual Studio is really not so awesome. This IDE is terrible.
    137. Seriously, people: the communists MURDERED the czars. THAT was class warfare.
    138. Mary left on her jet plane, and she won't be back again. In other news, a dragon was seen sadly slipping into his cave. We'll all miss her.
    139. Because I just knew you were jonesin' for a good long-form article about the problems with the Carter Administration: http://bit.ly/WhjIA

    3. I would refer @lorenbland to the aptly named http://ismikearringtonadick...
    4. @KevinHartsock I used to have an app that let me draw, and then shake the machine to clear it. That was awesome.

    24. @JeddJedd I'm gonna miss buying, though.

    216. @Lemmo "they are awesome" wasn't enough? I like mine for reading in bed, and for playing games, and as a couch/internet adapter.
    217. @Lemmo that is to say: it's not necessary if you already have a computer. But it is incredibly nice.
    218. @Lemmo agreed, but that's an "embarrassment of riches" problem, not a fault of the device.
    219. @Lemmo we have a Kodak PlaySmart that we use for that. It's waterproof and awesome. Might be a better fit; check it out.

    245. If I was a Vorlon I'd send everybody prophetic dreams that meant absolutely nothing just to screw with 'em.
    246. The problem with B5 is that everyone thinks conflicts are zero sum and the smart people have only recognized negative-sum conflicts.
    247. In fairness, this isn't outlandish: the Republican Party doesn't seem to understand positive-sum situations, either.

    273. @Joeburly but what do they block? The exits?
    274. @JssSandals he testified in front of congress about immigration. In character. Because our government is stupid.

    300. @erinsells I don't think he'll fare well at the polls with his "free scotch for criminals" voting record.
    301. Well, I didn't expect that to work. #pleasantsurprises
    302. I think the British get a lot right, but they're totally wrong about "gaoler".

    305. @Joeburly sounds good to me. Let's go to a Luau while we're there!
    306. Well, I don't expect THAT to work, either. Might go buy a lottery ticket o something.
    307. @elizabeth_hess various bits of code and process, but on the first try. That never happens.
    308. My @square card reader is here! Who wants to buy something? I've got day-old pizza!

    314. Played Castle #Ravenloft with @SonjaRoby. Spent the whole game close to defeat; too bleak for her.
    315. @SonjaRoby but it's necessary to understand anything that comes after it. You need to start with season 1. Grin and bear it!
    316. I'm just saying that I don't think rock and roll is a good foundation for a household, let alone a whole city.
    317. The Senate is broken enough that Jim DeMint can decide to hold all legislation he doesn't like, and it'll work: http://politi.co/aoM3OL

    328. I kind of wish my house looked like Disneyland Hotel's Pirates of the Caribbean Suite: http://bit.ly/bwNcF5
    329. @Joeburly I don't; that system made no sense!
    330. @Joeburly I learned it first, too, and then I learned systems that are have design goals and don't just make you roll arbitrary dice a lot.
    331. @Joeburly yes, but they go out of their way to use every die for things, with no rhyme or reason behind the choices.
    332. @Joeburly then they have an atrophied skill tree with no social skills at all, and a plethora of weapons distinguished only by damage.
    333. @Joeburly GURPS and Shadowrun have defense rolls. DnD4 has Interrupts. Palladium just feels like a bad AD&D imitation with neat worldbooks.
    334. @Joeburly THAC0 was beyond frustrating, which is why Palladium didn't mimic it and 3E (and 4E) abandoned it.
    335. @Joeburly I'd be interested in a system like Final Fantasy Tactics where all attacks land and defense and armor just mean you have more HP.
    336. Your daily dose of random hilarity: http://bit.ly/d7CmoZ
    337. @JssSandals I was typing a response saying this exact thing.
    338. @JssSandals @Joeburly you can still have damage rolls to give it some randomness.
    339. This long piece on the interplay between Lennon and McCartney left me a bigger Paul fan than I was before: http://bit.ly/cdY2aV
    340. @joshroby @JssSandals @Joeburly old Shadowrun let's you reduce damage you take by Body; would be interesting if other stats (Dex) could sub.

    346. Last night I dreamt we had trouble driving to Hawaii because the Zeppelin Parade was causing too much traffic.
    347. @joshroby the Zeppelins weren't the problem; it was all the cars trying to get on the 6 freeway and go see them. But you're right, too.
    348. @joshroby I thought they were easy, too, but most people only get 50%, which is sad.
    349. @joshroby see the full report: http://bit.ly/b1JYhE
    350. @robymom just because you missed one question doesn't mean you're a mold; it'll be alright.

    353. Remembering when California had the government everyone wanted to have: http://nyti.ms/9XMtoh
    354. @robymom because I want to vote for Earl Warren and he's not running. Brown will do, but I'm not excited about it.
    355. @robymom fundamentally what's needed is a new state constitution and a repeal of Prop 13. Neither is forthcoming, so we're doomed.
    356. @robymom if I had any ideas, I wouldn't have said we were doomed.
    357. Your Daily Dose of Random Hilarity: http://nyr.kr/c2VYZK
    358. @joshroby we could split California, as long as we keep our water rights. But can the flag fit another star?
    359. @joshroby I agree, but then the question is just how we get those. Do you think the legislature will do it and risk their seats?
    360. The 91 carpool lanes will are gonna get turned into toll lanes: http://bit.ly/cGONe5 #makethewholethingatollroad

    373. Great short explanatory video on the Tax Cut Fight from the @whitehouse http://bit.ly/c39wuR
    374. @MikaylaRoby looks at my computer, sees a paused web video, and asks "Can we watch that triangle, daddy?"
    375. @joshroby agreed, but is there anything you could say there that ppl wouldn't argue with? Reagan's cuts didn't work, but ppl think they did.
    376. Obama's Fed board members confirmed by voice vote after a year of waiting. http://bit.ly/9vGSzD #killthefillibuster
    377. @chockenberry whenever I see people use giant if blocks where a ternary operator would do, I see a person who has a larger screen than I.
    378. @macon44 I like it, but "any objective economist" is kind of a weak line. Say who! Say why!
    379. @macon44 then the video should have cited the CBO, not "any objective economist." Do both if you like.
    380. @chockenberry I find ternaries (broken into three lines) easier to read: MyType* myVar = test == 0 ? someValue : otherValue;
    381. @Joeburly but I was gonna send the womenfolk on an errand and you and I could get a little 'us time.'
    382. @Andipandi9299 I think you need to give him less sugar; the's vibrating in that picture.
    383. @daveweigel Ax! Ax! Ax!
    384. @markknoller I'd pay; at current output I'd average $4.50/month. I get that much enjoyment out of it.
    385. @ezraklein what happened to the House of the Future? Where's my robot butler?
    386. @MikaylaRoby is scared of snowmen. We have no idea why.

    388. @jaketapper um… that was taken verbatim from @God_Damn_Batman
    389. @jaketapper I think attribution is important, and wanted to set the record straight.
    390. @jaketapper if you find out, @God_Damn_Batman will likely break your legs. Best leave well enough alone.
    391. @ezraklein then it'd look like post-result panic. "We lost and need a new team!" Now it's just turnover.

    22. @lemmo I've only been to a couple Ren Faires, and both were smallish affairs. "Ren Faire" seems to mean "smaller, less awesome Ren Festival"
    23. @lemmo but do you have a centaur? http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=Texas+Renaissance+Festival+centaur

    18. Political discussion in our office right now. Poll of people here: Obama 4, Undecided: 1.
    19. @laurabishop it's because I secretly write all of his jokes. Or maybe bc we're both sarcastic liberals with a penchant for silly faces?

    30. They are trimming our trees at our condo. And by trimming, I mean trimming down to a stump.
    31. Mulching machine outside scaring cats into front room. Man with leaf blower scaring cats back to bed room. Repeat ad infinitum.
    32. @ricksanchezcnn I wouldnt "blame Palin" as much as I would blame the Palin pick, and the subsequent lack of narrative other than "let's win"
    33. Karl Rove's latest map: if the election were today Obama wins 364 electoral votes. That's change I can believe in. http://bit.ly/4tUyo0

    49. Sonja's trail mix (raisins, peanuts, M&Ms) has a warning that it was packaged in a facility that processes peanuts. One would hope.
    50. Mikayla with my parents for the night. Video games, quiet meals and sleeping in for Sonja and I.
    51. Bengal Barbeque for the win. (date night continues at Disneyland)
    52. Mikayla just tried an iPhone-esque swipe to move away the code I'm working on so that she could see the next picture in the list.

    54. Getting schooled, by the way. "Dadda go down slide."
    55. K_STRING.cs! K_LISTBOX.cs! K_SCHEDULER.cs! And XML as far as the eye can see...
    56. If you write some code and you would be embarrassed to explain how it works, you should rewrite the code.

    2. After doing Rails development where you try to keep everything to a couple dozen lines long at most, ASP.NET *looks* incredibly bloated.

    1. My "immigration should be more open" stance is making it really hard to care about @Whitman2010's maid. Hypocrisy is a 'meh' charge.
    2. @joshroby oh, agreed, I'm just sayin' it's gonna be a big thing but it's totally and completely beside the point of "can she govern CA?"
    3. @joshroby and for those playing at home: the answer is "No one can govern CA; it's broken."

    26. @Joeburly thing is, @Schwarzenegger is a progressive, if not a liberal. He literally decided to be a Republican because he liked Reagan.
    27. @Joeburly I'm just sayin': our side's zealots are rarely heard of, the other sides' zealots are running the party.
    28. My coworkers keep dropping offline. Fear I might be in some terribly boring office horror movie.
    29. @Joeburly would that it were true: I'm not a zealot and the people with control of "my side" are firmly to the right of me.
    30. @Joeburly the system has to adapt for it to survive. Doing nothing means the system eats itself and we all lose. I'm a conservationist.
    31. @Joeburly if you define "centery center" as doing nothing, you're asking for a gov't that can't do its job and will fail.

    113. More on the Stewart/Yoo interview. Indeed, Stewart didn't get much out of Yoo, and that's a shame. http://bit.ly/8ixhqg
    114. Kurt Vonnegut writes home to tell his family he's alive after WWII, despite having been a POW in Dresden http://bit.ly/8pBDcB "But not me."
    115. @lorenbland Yes, but Jon Stewart didn't call him on that, when he should have. Stewart wasn't as combative as he usually is (and should be).
    116. @timbray Not Java; JavaScript

    126. @the_meghatron yes; we went to one last week and got a snack pack of goldfish and a tiny play-doh. That's about par for the course.
    127. @the_meghatron That said, it's in no way a requirement; we go to lots where there's no goodie bags.

    151. @the_meghatron Yep.

    283. McGraw-Hill was conspicuously absent from that list of publishers available on the iBook store…
    284. Bravo Apple for using ePub for the iBook Store. Standards FTW.
    285. The sync story for the iPad is going to be hugely important and they haven't talked about it at all yet.
    286. I don't even want the iPad yet and I'm already trying to figure out how to get $30/month to pay for the wireless. Something is wrong with me
    287. Theory: the iPad name was chosen because it's short and fits well into Twitter messages.

    299. Now reading through the API Diffs, stopping every few lines to say "Oooh" and "Very nice."
    300. @Pogue I'm judging it based on the NDA'd developer APIs, and it looks awesome.

    302. @nnw_Mac Is there a good forum to ask style-dev questions?

    320. I still believe in a place called Hope.
    321. For some reason, the Republicans aren't clapping for us getting most of our money back from TARP.
    322. The Republicans aren't clapping for these taxes we cut, either. It's almost like they're hypocrites, or something.
    323. . @marcambinder Obama's jaunty tone in this entire speech is ballsy, and just right.
    324. @wonkroom Joe Biden!
    325. He's gotta do a #sotu "from time to time." If they're all like this, I'm thinking every three months would be good.
    326. @erinsells Go into public service!
    327. This smiling happy warrior guy is nice; I wish he were around more often. #sotu
    328. Even when Mitch McConnell is standing to applaud he looks smug.
    329. No, the federal government should borrow while the borrowing is good, then spend that money in ways that help us all. #sotu #belttightening
    330. I'm a fan of this calling Republicans out, but I think it should have been stressed more that they're not letting *anything* happen.
    331. "…and why we stand against Pat Robertson, because that guy is a dick."

    334. This audience for the Republican Response is great political theatre. But why can they use the statehouse to do this political stunt?
    335. We Republicans hate debt; that why we create so much of it, and stymy efforts to reduce it. Wait, let me try that again.
    336. Our Republican solutions aren't thousand-page bills, because they're fake! We can make stuff up much quicker than that! #sotu #response

    340. @jsnell Does the iBookstore have subscription rates?
    341. @marcambinder I did not forget how much I missed him; I want him to be out doing this kind of stuff more often.
    342. Sadly, the iBooks app does not offer Helvetica as one of the default five fonts: http://bit.ly/bxes68

    9. From her crib (where she has been for an hour and a half) @MikaylaRoby is yelling "I am sleeping just like you" over and over.

    68. @SonjaRoby best part of this tweet is that you typed it while sitting next to me. Also: we'll find another Whirlygig, and it'll be GLORious.
    69. In the dictionary next to “paradox of choice” there should be a picture if The Container Store.

    98. @MaddowGuestList I liked it loads better when the list was actually in the tweet.
    99. At the theatre with @SonjaRoby waiting for Harry Potter. Instead of the 20 with ads, watching the two-minute loop of trivia.
    100. So Harry Potter 6 is pretty damn awesome. Azkaban is still the best, but this ties or beats Order of the Pheonix for second.
    101. Lazy morning with @MikaylaRoby, listening to @lunchmoneymusic and playing with the animals her grandparents brought her from Alaska.
    102. At the park with small group, disobeying Charlie's request not to Twitter where he is.

    131. MSNBC's new branding is still weird. Too CNNish. I liked the slants. Hey, look, there's @maddow! #streamofconsciousness
    132. Shorter Obama: we all hate health care insurance companies. This bill is about making them be less evil.
    133. Silly Obama; the blue pill doesn't do the same job as the red pill: it leaves you in the Matrix.
    134. Someone, at some point, told Obama to give an example at the end of each answer. That person was a genius. Keeps the conversation grounded.
    135. "Police acted stupidly" is pretty strong language. Seems appropriate, but… wow.
    136. Playing luggage Tetris.

    141. Just cracked @MikaylaRoby up by telling her that I did not want to eat her toy zebra for dinner. Lots and lots of laughing.
    142. @SandellasAliso you have to do that when I'm out of town, don't you? Ah, well, it's not like I have a problem paying (obviously)…
    143. At @NickLassonde's super secret birthday party! http://twitpic.com/bj5bx

    146. Motel 6 Buttonwillow review: sheets like paper, towels like lava rocks, heater that does not heat, right place, right price.
    147. @TALlama forgot to mention: toilet flushing sounds like the damned souls of hell screaming for the sweet, sweet release of death.
    148. @KevinHartsock is the "they" in that sentence the aforementioned souls?
    149. Checkout clerk said "thank you, come again" and I had to resist saying "we will try to avoid it."

    156. Had some idea that McDonald's, despite being generally bad, had an okay fast breakfast. Now disabused of that notion.
    157. I own All That You Can't Leave Behind as a CD and as a digital download, but I still listen to this old Napster MP3 with a stutter in it.
    158. Home again. Letting @MikaylaRoby free to play was like the scene when the flubber escapes its container. Boing! Boing! Boing!
    159. Jumping into BSG Season 3 two years after ending Season 2 is surprisingly easy. First four eps also surprisingly predictable.
    160. New Caprica is just an elaborate excuse to destroy Pegasus in a way that wouldn't seem forced. #bsg
    161. @frasersdevdiary are you including pinch to zoom and swipe to slide this time? Please?
    162. @frasersdevdiary awesome. My 2 year old loves looking at animal pics, but she's familiar w/ the rest of the phone and always tries to slide.

    182. Going to bed even though I'm not tired, because 6:30 comes too early. This 60-minutes-to-an-hour thing is really cramping my style.

    189. Downloaded the NetNewsWire beta. No more NewsGator sync and no updated iPhone client means I broke my Mac/iPhone read sync. Sad face-> :(

    1. @Joeburly Toles is saying that you can't claim to be a literalist and ignore that clause, which constrains the other clause.
    2. @Joeburly but see, that's why constitutional literalism doesn't work: you *can* legitimately read it either way.

    4. @lemmo I think the gulf is a hoax. I've never seen it. North Dakota, too.

    240. @erinsells you'll get a heads up on the next version, at least. (Nick and I came close to writing a replacement for it in college)
    241. What's in the Financial Regulation bill that passed yesterday: http://bit.ly/dn70eP We'll miss you, Office of Thrift Supervision! #notreally
    242. @lemmo you could be low on coolant or have an old filter. We do that dance every year.
    243. @JssSandals What are you talking about; it's a cool 78º here on my couch as the air conditioning wafts by.
    244. Target has their core constituency of tiny vampire killers covered: http://yfrog.com/0v11dshj
    245. Suddenly in the mood for some seriously pulpy fiction. Sci fi, fantasy, alt history, whatever. Suggestions?
    246. @JssSandals yeah, that party got WAY out of hand.
    247. @JssSandals was thinking books, but I'll look at these.
    248. Lessons from the Bible: if your kids wake you up in the middle of the night, tell them to go talk to God and stop bothering you (1 Samuel 3)
    249. Watched the new Star Trek with @SonjaRoby. They really did a fantastic job with that thing.

    259. Spent an hour getting very annoyed by Intuit's website and a half hour getting impressed by their responsive customer service. Good work!
    260. Amused that the dice on the D&D Wikipedia page are the set I actually own. Very late-80s-geek-teen-looking-for-cool. http://bit.ly/aSGTFR
    261. @Andipandi9299 Wait, the vampire show has a character who's name is like a toddler saying "sucky?" Really?
    262. At early church. It's crowded.

    275. @erinsells I'm a fan of Instapaper (better integration with other apps), which is the same general idea.
    276. Like how this "Apple vs AT&T" article quotes AAPL as blaming T and quotes T as complainng AAPL wouldn't screw customers http://bit.ly/byhvNg
    277. @AndrewArdisone it's slightly ridiculous how excited I am.
    278. @Joeburly it's made all the classes like the wizard was: long lists of crazy abilities with weird rules governing how often you can use them
    279. @erinsells The Nostalgia Box is a good name for a book or a band.
    280. @JssSandals @joeburly @andrewardisone we need to get Matt and David on Twitter so we can be excited together.
    281. @joshroby I tend to write like me, no matter how hard I try otherwise.
    282. @joshroby why would I do that? They all code like crap. #iamthegreatest
    283. @joshroby #1 person I don't want to code like is @TALlamaFromSixMonthsAgo. That guy was an idiot. Only slightly better: @TALlamaFromLastWeek
    284. Dear everyone who wrote a URL parser for jQuery: query params can be multivalued. Your code is broken.
    285. @NickLassonde I have a complete archive of my tweets since Nov 2007, if you want.

    289. @joshroby Indeed. You using @viewfinderapp?
    290. @threeve I know!
    291. @erinsells it just goes to show that Word has really lost emphasis. *rimshot*
    292. Last week when I thought, "Hey I can store these new iPhone 4 headphones at the office!" Yeah, I should have done that.
    293. Dear office, thanks for ordering lunch in today, but I could have gotten better mexican food at Taco Bell. And they have sodas I like. #sad

    297. I love me some Connections.
    298. @Andipandi9299 video or still? Our Kodak PlaySport is a great little video camera. For stills I like Canon a ton.
    299. @the_meghatron dance, Dance, DANCE!
    300. @Shannon_Ahern @AndiPandi9299 we looked at the Flip but the PlaySport had better quality and was waterproof, with removable media & cheaper!
    301. @Andipandi9299 Nikon is definitely the other brand that I'd consider, with Sony as a somewhat distant third.
    302. Our weekly "game night" starts tonight; new D&D campaign. @MikaylaRoby this morning: "I think you should play Shoots and Ladders."
    303. This JavaScript keyboard shortcuts thing is one of the most useful bits of code I've ever written. Very reusable. http://bit.ly/duJVmZ

    324. @chockenberry looks like an awesome update. Congratulations!
    325. Going to be one of those days where I need to play a violent videogame afterwards.
    326. @JssSandals Season one is brilliant; Season two got blindsided by 9/11 and lost their big-govt bad guy. I never finished.
    327. @lemmo Good Luck… with the thing. That you'd need… luck for, I guess?
    328. OK, I'm ready for today's 2pm demo that I found out about at 5pm yesterday. #hugesighofrelief #nowijustneedtoavoidbreakinganything

    333. So far "A Game of Thrones" is like a medieval reality show about royal scotsman. Has an exciting opening credit sequence, though.
    334. @joshroby the narrative jumps a little too often; I only get to the point of caring about the characters when their turn to talk is over.
    335. Climate Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope http://bit.ly/9q1Hgj (Federal regulations are an elegant weapon for a more civilized age)
    336. @robymom the rule is never buy the first generation. The iPhone 4 isn't first-gen. The iPad is, but it's for programming.
    337. @robymom it's now at 3, apparently.
    338. @robymom you could change your browser's downloads location to the desktop. In Safari, it's in Preferences > General, IIRC.
    339. @robymom caveat, though: all downloads from Safari will now go to the desktop. It's not just for webmail.
    340. @robymom you could probably set up http://fluidapp.com/ to be a webmail-only application with its own download location, if you want.
    341. I always talk to fast during presentations. Especially remote ones with no physical audience to gauge reactions from.

    365. These northbound trains are all loaded with tired geeks making their way home from #sdcc.
    366. @JssSandals he's a fine character, and suited to his purpose, but I'm just tired of the man-of-action-annoyed-by-words trope.
    367. College girls on train playing UNO. One is teaching the others because they've never played before. May be in a Twilight Zone episode.
    368. @SonjaRoby there were two trains to LA; I took the earlier one that was said to have seating left. Now I'm on the later train, with a seat.
    369. @SonjaRoby yes, I just waited in LA for the same train I was scheduled to ride.
    370. It smells of the sea.
    371. Is it sad that I notice when "my room" at this hotel has new wallpaper? Because I think it's kind of awesome.
    372. @elizabeth_hess @thealkemist sadly, just the one night and then home again Tuesday. Back again next month; let's get together then.

    377. @thealkemist my bet is 'no.' If you start to succeed I can come up and pour honey on it.
    378. This is some amazing <canvas/> animation work: http://bit.ly/ciFBcW
    379. @JssSandals hooray! Congratulations!
    380. I hate software patents.
    381. @thealkemist no, I hate those, too, because the patent I'm hating right now paid my salary a decade ago…
    382. @thealkemist no, IT doesn't need patents, and would be better off without them. I wrote about this: http://bit.ly/aiLpnK
    383. If I could make my iPhone lock screen be a random picture from "... the world we live in", I would: http://bit.ly/b6H27D
    384. @thealkemist I'm not for "no patents" just "no software patents." Or public blueprints. Or public review for obviousness. Or all three.

    404. @pourmecoffee they also find that the size of Christ decreases as we expect more realism in our paintings; he used to be huge. Bad study.
    405. Static typing ruins another perfectly good idea.
    406. That line I just crossed? 'Twas the "can start new task and accomplish something useful before close of business" line. Guess I'm done.

    413. Visual Studio's .tt files are kind of insane. Metaprogramming via preprocessor that strongly resembles ASPX.
    414. People in the office are using speakerphone to talk to the people one office-cube over, again. This is why I work from home.

    2. @gruber just gave me what might be the best mental image I've had all week.
    3. Congratulations, @hotsoup!
    4. In the Keynote hall, after the first cross aisle.
    5. Jobs is onstage. Looking thin.
    6. Next version is Snow Leopard, so the "bug fixes only" might be true...
    7. Could do with a few less of these iPhone App Demos. Two or three was neat. We're past the neat phase.
    8. Okay, but *this* demo of "Band" is a good closer. Fun, Indy, and it gets the audience involved with music.
    9. Okay, that demo *would have been* a good closer, but now there's another demo.
    10. Anything that involves shaking the iPhone to do something is going to get applause.
    11. Also, anything that bashes Windows Mobile or RIM = Applause.
    12. It works "Over the Cellular Network" Not "EDGE", Not "3G"
    13. MobileMe! *school girl squealing*
    14. @NickLassonde That'll be good probably some time this afternoon.
    15. Remaining question: how long will the @mac.com accounts still work? If the answer is less than "forever" I'm gong to be very angry.
    16. 3G! Third-Party Apps! More affordable! But no GPS?!? NO GPS?!?!?
    17. Okay, there is GPS, it just wasn't on their list of "things we learned we needed." Much happier, now.
    18. $199 for an 8GB iPhone 3G. $299 for 16GB.
    19. @siracusa has an interesting link to a PR release where Apple claims to have already shown us what they're showing us this afternoon.
    20. I assume @timbray has seen it already, but http://tinyurl.com/6nlgku is as much info as there is.
    21. Sitting in the Mission Room, listening to the first half of a session in order to be here when the second half begins.
    22. Ditching my heavy backpack in favor of the much lighter Apple swag laptop case.
    23. Downloading the new iPhone SDK, after I downloaded the previous one last night.
    24. Went to a party last night hosted by @shipley and met him, plus @ddribin, @bbum, @gruber, @codinghorror, and more. Stayed up far too late.
    25. Problem with not having an iPhone in these iPhone sessions: I keep thinking "I could make this" and then remembring that the iPhone has that
    26. They now have a giant screen full of that thing that I'm not building because it's already there.
    27. Becoming known as "the guy who writes Mac software without using Xcode." It is somewhat of an oddity.
    28. @lorenbland Mostly, it's shock and amazement that it works at all.
    29. Sitting in a Lab next to a guy who bought his first Mac yesterday, and is still being amazed at OS X's sheets, genie effect, etc.
    30. @codinghorror The C# imp is very readable, but (being a Ruby guy as well as a C# one) I find both to be about equally readable.
    31. In a Session that will either be incredibly useful or totally not depending on what they choose to emphasize and how future development goes
    32. I don't think that @fraserspeirs is actually going to any sessions; he seems to be wandering around a lot.
    33. The part where Mono claims to look in DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH for your DllImports? Yeah, that's a lie.
    34. First really disappointing lunch, despite many sites saying that lunch was awful. It's been okay so far.
    35. @lorenbland If there was going to be a rev, it would have been announced at the Keynote, but it wasn't, so there won't be.
    36. @lorenbland Plus, MacBook == Consumer, MacBook Pro == Pro, so if *anything* was going to get a rev at WWDC, it'd be the Pro line.
    37. @lorenbland None of which precludes a rev at some "special event" some upcoming Tuesday.
    38. Very, very interesting stuff at the Scripting Session.
    39. Congrats, @chockenberry!
    40. I agree with @codinghorror: the correct name for the command key is "campground," not "octothorpe" http://xrl.us/bmvqy
    41. I can't watch @codinghorror's "Procrastination" video right now; I'm reading blogs as a way to avoid sleeping.
    42. So far, I have been mistaken for @ihnatko twice, and I was just spoken to in German on the mistaken assumption that I was someone else.
    43. Following more of the awesome people I've met here. Oh, and we saw Barenaked Ladies at the Bash last night! Two life goals done in one week.
    44. Either half the attendees are already on the way home or they couldn't wake up for 9am sessions. Was up until 4am and made it; you can too!

    127. @thealkemist it's the same search term on Google, and that matters a lot…
    128. @thealkemist I know; we've danced this before. But why can't they just choose a new name? There's tons of words out there: use one!

    140. @lemmo what did the smart people say?
    141. @daveweigel I'd say roughly zero chance of an iPad price drop; they're having trouble keeping them on the shelves.
    142. @lemmo that's just an argument by assertion, though. Whatever; I just thought it was funny that Steve used those words.
    143. @lemmo okay, then; I'm fine being done, too, I just wanted to note the echo 'cause I thought it was funny.
    144. Ok, the redacted tweets coming from #wwdc now are making me sad I'm not there. Mission Accomplished, guys.

    131. @robymom It's an anti-tax thing the right wing is on about. Like the Boston Tea Party. But w/o any threat of actual taxes. Just complaining.

    142. @unWrittenSG Still my 3G. Both VVM and the Tether work fine after the reset. But I hear it doesn't work on original models.

    152. Michael Jackson rushed to hospital; shouldn't have had that plastic heart put in to replace his real one.
    153. @the_meghatron we might have more than that; Jackson outbid McCartney for the rights. Who's to say what McCartney would have allowed?
    154. @the_meghatron But isn't it Yoko who's been the holdup for the recordings? And if Paul owned it all himself...

    4. I have somehow convinced myself that walking up to my car and having it automatically unlock is not only not abnormal, but is expected.
    5. @KevinHartsock I will. Because it will *be* an attack on all that is good in the world.

    43. Come now, @SonjaRoby: you only hate Tiki Room so much because Small Workd has been closed for a year. Otherwise Tiki would be a nice change.
    44. ALSO: Tiki is- per square foot- the most technologically amazing ride at Disneyland. A whole show in one small room!
    45. When did Google add Promote and Remove buttons to their search results? And I can Comment, now?
    46. @NickLassonde Apparently, it's browser sniffing, and only showing up in Safari now. Also, I may have been logged out of my google account.
    47. Logged into a site to buy a hard drive. The address they have on file is from seven years ago.

    60. Off the train. Hungry.
    61. @wisequark is taking over my other Twitter friends, Agent Smith style: http://twitpic.com/thwn Watch out, @codinghorror, you're next!
    62. One of our tiny Christmas decoration figures just got Twilight Zone: The Movie'd.
    63. So far, my new hard drive has made stops in Champaign, IL, Lenexa, KS, and Phoenix, AZ. At least it's heading this direction.
    64. Dear Lord; no wonder I'm hungry. Who approved it to be 1 already?
    65. OK seriously, @JoshRoby, what's wrong with the "Roby" name? You seem to abandon it at the earliest opportunity.
    66. See, that's why I asked @JoshRoby; it's always him that's disturbing the King's peace, and never @the_meghatron.
    67. Brought dinner to some friends that just had a baby. Older kids running around causing havok, refusing to eat.
    68. At the SJC Christmas party. Swanky, tasty food, and live music so loud you can't have a conversation.

    77. @unWrittenRPG Jonathan strange & mr norrell.

    81. @joshroby Whaddya change?
    82. Been up for an hour. Pretty sure it was not raining when I got up. Not sure when it started.
    83. There must be a holiday approaching: Mikayla is sick.
    84. OK, this is a pretty freaking awesome toy: http://tinyurl.com/779u47 (via @fraserspeirs)

    4. Caught myself speeding on the way to work today after realizing he was focusing too much on a math problem. That's probably not "normal".
    5. Using the third person in only half of each tweet, apparently. Consistency, hobgoblins, etc.
    6. @threeve I gave up on the "wanting to install it" part of Acrobat 9. I've got Preview.app
    7. Accidentally ordered a large drink from Panda. I could live inside this cup. (That said, it's half-gone already, and will be empty soon).

    9. Congratulations, @danielpunkass!
    10. Very sad and disappointed with Edwards, not to mention mad. What if he had got the nomination? I thought he was better than this.
    11. @wilshipley No, that's just linguist. Wait, no. Lingualist?
    12. Mikayla likes twitteriffic because it has a bird icon.
    13. Reading a terrible story I wrote in third grade. We found it in my parents' garage last month. It's awesome!

    15. After first day of iPhone ownership, I'm very satisfied with everything and I have no more juice in the battery.
    16. Confession: I actually like the Ewoks in RotJ. Always have. They live in freaking tree villages! They think C3PO is a God! They are awesome!
    17. @capt_bloode Exactly. They're like fuzzy little highland warriors. Colorful, passionate, and primitive. Very noble savage.
    18. Not understanding exactly what 1Password buys me. It's a migration path off of Safari, but I don't need one. & the iPhone app is all crashy.
    19. I have a newfound appreciation for the Hoff after seeing this: http://tinyurl.com/yws63e
    20. Discovered by accident on my MacBook Pro: double-tap and hold, then click the button. Now, sliding the fingers is a right-click and drag.
    21. Sigh. MobileMe is down again. Of course it is; I want to test out iPhone synching.
    22. @danielpunkass By the time our kids are old enough, enough of them will have information in public places that we'll need new proofs of ID.
    23. @laurabishop Both Sonja and I picked up White 16GBs on Saturday.

    25. My Windows development VM has some corrupted files. Can chkdisk fix them? We'll find out in the next thrilling issue!
    26. @NickLassonde I would appreciate it if you kept a clean copy of that for me; mine is a little crusty, as it was originally my Boot Camp, too
    27. Don't worry, @danielpunkass. We all did the kid-and-pet name mixup. And by 'did', I mean do. My parents *still* do it.
    28. I'm in Santa Barbara next Tuesday and Wednesday. Anyone up for shenanigans after work?
    29. Two hours in, chkdsk is 22% complete. It's gonna be that kind of day, isn't it?
    30. Getting covered by flowers from the tree I'm sitting under. Moving under the umbrella instead.
    31. @joshroby It's only 2:30 here. You've been gone 10 hours. Watch out for them "time zone" things they use back east!
    32. MBP just crashed. Same old lockup on the UI that used to accompany a VRAM meltdown, but no console messages this time.
    33. @NickLassonde This LOOKED like the old VRAM ones, which I haven't seen in quite some time. Some update must've fixed them and removed logs.
    34. @TALlama Well, fixed MOST of them an removed the logs, obviously.
    35. My iPhone now has Exchange set up. All I need now is for Gmail to support push email...
    36. Well, it's a good thing I backed up this VM before updating to Fusion 2b2, since it's just blue screening, now.
    37. So VMware 2 doesn't put up a VM-modal dialog on snapshot (great!) but does when deleting a snapshot? That's... just... huh?
    38. Revert to snapshot; it worked for me! Of course, different platform, different hypervisor, different city, etc.
    39. Okay, the iPhone's Exchange support for meetings is just slick. And kudos go to both products in the mix.
    40. Pandora continues to amaze me by pointing out the similarities between the various bands that I like but never think of as being similar.

    42. I don't say it often enough, but: Thank God for MagSafe.
    43. Updating VMware tools in a VM. Keep losing the window behind others and forgetting it. Just finished a 5 minute install process in 3 hours.
    44. Is @rentzsch sure he didn't install Mondrian.app? Or maybe Dali.app?
    45. Alternate names for @wisequark's new Drobo: Peer into "The Abyss" or throw your data into "The Volcano" or search "Your Soul"
    46. No, @Moltz; you've got it wrong. The last war was silly. This one is a *serious* crisis.
    47. @chockenberry you use a wrench, as @fraserspeirs would be well advised to do (gears are for "More Actions"; see Finder, iTunes, VMware, etc)
    48. Mikayla is out with Sonja's mom at the park, so Sonja is sitting at home playing video games. Ah, the summer life of a preschool teacher....
    49. Lady in line behind me reeks of Tic Tacs. I didn't know that was possible, but my nose informs me that it is.
    50. Re-installing KUSM for the first time in a long time. Pretty slick, guys.
    51. Sometimes, I look back on the canceled project that made me leave my last job and I'm sad it never got finished. It had some neat tech in it
    52. Sonja: "Mikayla, what do you want for lunch?" Mikayla: "Taco. Bell." Sonja: "Did your daddy teach you that?"
    53. Put an Apple sticker on our HP printer in hopes that having an Apple logo on it will make it work better. Will report on any changes itmakes
    54. In Santa Barbara. My hotel room has an extra bed. In its own room. A bit odd.
    55. Seen on hotel WiFi: iTunes share "david finkelstein's Music." Included are 32 songs by "david finkelstein," all of which are terrible.
    56. @drhorrible There once was a doctor, quite horrible/Whose evil ways were quite incouragable/But that Captain Hammer/...

    60. @fraserspeirs when I learned SQL, I thot it'd be useful for all the things it's bad at (object hierarchies). Turns out those are just hard.
    61. @lemmo Orphan Works Act in a nutshell: If you don't care enough to claim your work, it's okay for other people to use it.
    62. @lemmo As I understand it, they have to make a good faith effort to find you. If they can't, they can use it. So staying visible is enough.
    63. @lemmo Well, but in order for someone to use it, they'd have to search for "Lem Pew", which is three clicks from Blank It.
    64. @lemmo Well, the idea isn't to find your WORK online, but to find YOU online. And assuming all your other work says who it's by, thats easy.
    65. @laurabishop Sshhh! Don't tell @lemmo, or you'll ruin the whole charade!
    66. Subject of spam I just got: "Cause I'm a supergirl, and supergirls don't cry." Almost enough to make me open it.
    67. Found Mt Dew LiveWire on the drive home from Santa Barbara. Happy with my beverage find and my immenant family reunion.
    68. Three hours of driving later, hitting Taco Bell and heading home.
    69. Disabling the passcode on my iPhone. It's mildly annoying and downright dangerous when driving.
    70. NetFlicks if your "Recommendations" feed has nothing to say, just be quiet. Dont add an item into the feed tellng me that there are no items
    71. Just got an SMS from "Apple and AT&T" telling me about iPhone OS 2.0.2. Neat.
    72. I like that Biden called it "Bush's scheme of privatizing social security." Scheme is a great word, and perfectly apt in this usage.
    73. Memo to Joe Biden: when you want to say "literally," just skip it instead. You'll lose no meaning and I won't get so distracted listening.
    74. At the swap meet.

    80. Alright, aside from a stupid install and a horrible, half-thought UI, the Silverlight-powered live coverage of the DNC is pretty amazing.
    81. Aside from the fact that it's not, you know, live, but is instead delayed a few minutes. I'm fine with that, but it's not quite "live."
    82. But @mattyglesias, we can just fly in south asian firefighters anytime any of our imported goods catch ablaze!
    83. Watch out, @pvponline. The cake is a lie.
    84. @wisequark @siracusa The thing that strikes me about the too-early Steve Jobs obit is how poorly it's written. Someone should hold a contest
    85. @wisequark The thinking goes like this: "Wait, Steve Jobs is still alive? That means Apple will have some insanely great new products soon!"
    86. Using iChat for a multiple-location work videoconference. Pretty nice. @NickLassonde is apparently on the moon.

    94. Heading to @NickLassonde's bachelor party.
    95. Texans actually follow the speed limit. How odd.
    96. Texas heat: like being punched in the face every time you walk out a door.

    4. @DerekRodrigues CppUnit is the best of the bunch, but C++ is, as a language, too statically bound/typed/etc to test really nicely.
    5. That said, CppUnit is better than not testing by a mile and a league.
    6. It appears that http://xrl.us/bg4ea is the definitive reference, and the guy who wrote it made UnitTest++ in its image. It's new, but neat.

    121. @joshroby see, I think the problem is that the nutbars kill the established and moderate institutions, leading to a slow demise…
    122. @joshroby what's happening is a slow hollowing out of our institutions (of all forms) as extremists leave & moderates try to hold em togethr
    123. @joshroby the previous structures assume a broad base of support, and the extremists leaving for their own groups kills the moderate groups.
    124. @joshroby but the extremists leave because the moderates win the fights, not because there aren't any fights.

    132. @joshroby that's sad, and I personally find it quite annoying, but it doesn't mean that "religion" broadly constructed is bad.
    133. Remembering now why I like MbUnit better than NUnit.
    134. @joshroby alright, then: back to the original question: what's causing the decline, if not the nutbars and reaction thereto?
    135. @joshroby I agree with that, which was my point when we talked about the guy who denies hell exists. But that's denomination-level.
    136. Idea, given away free: public chat rooms for long discussions. Speakers are invite-only; anyone can listen. Call it eGora.

    138. @joshroby for a great many things yes, and I agree. But not everything has a scientific answer behind it.
    139. @joshroby but can't both be true? Or are you classifying all who seek answers beyond empiricism as nutbars, now?

    213. @rjpeaks you're either skipping a lot of these songs, or you're listening to them on 50x speed.

    315. @elizabeth_hess @erinsells I think the confusion here is evidence that my case is strong. ;)
    316. @elizabeth_hess reverse causality is just a different way of saying that the timeline is static; could you have chosen differently?
    317. @siracusa I try to avoid it, but in certain cases I've done it with appropriate "in case you missed it" or "remember this?" caveats.
    318. @elizabeth_hess not whole cloth, but there has to be some connection or how can we say that quantum mechanics has any effect on anything?

    331. Can I use Netflix's "Report a Problem" link to tell them that this movie is terrible?
    332. For those asking: I was watching Plan 9 from Outer Space. No, really. I knew it was bad and meant to revel it in, but it was worse than that
    333. @Lemmo this was a terrible-bad movie. Pity overwhelmed my sarcasm. And my sarcasm is strong.
    334. @malcolmmp that's about how far I made it. Pity overwhelmed my sarcasm, and my sarcasm is pretty strong.

    360. @Joeburly sounds fun; I'll see what we're up to and if our kids are feeling better by then.
    361. @joshroby someone deleted it because they think it belongs in the merchandise section. I hate Wikipedia editors.
    362. @joshroby I re-added it in Merchandise, even if it really should be in "other media." Not worth the edit war.

    391. @Lemmo I used to have a few coins but they got lost somewhere along the way. Now I collect credit cards and monopoly money ;)
    392. @Lemmo unfortunately one must use one's collection of credit cards to pay for any new additions to one's collection of board game money.

    395. @NickLassonde yeah, I found that. Have any pointers to cartogram image creators, though?
    396. @NickLassonde it doesn't launch on my machine, and the link to the "info on the algorithm and software" is a 404.

    412. It may be the 2:30am talking, but this new #secretproject rule tweak is awesome.
    413. @MikaylaRoby silly Twitter for iPhone keeping drafts until the next day and then posting!
    414. What would homeless people do with prepaid credit cards if you handed them out? http://bit.ly/awpDSp /via @pourmecoffee (fixed link)
    415. @erinsells I don't know if we can be friends anymore.
    416. @erinsells it was the NPH that did it. But Big Bang Theory is funny, too. I have no idea who Edie Falco is, if that makes you feel better.
    417. @erinsells BBT is good, but it's not for everyone. Sopranos is on my Big Giant List of Things To Watch But That I Will Likely Never Get To™
    418. So… anything I should absolutely, positively preregister for at @strategicon #gateway2010?
    419. @joshroby Sat/Sun; hours depend on what I sign up for.

    427. @joshroby I have a repeating "D&D" task on Wednesday night. It's a feat of spirit.
    428. @ddribin the injector class, yes. I like and have used Scope classes, but the Injector seems needlessly circuitous.
    429. @joshroby I also have "Play #secretproject" as a daily. Lots of days I get there and get XP, but when I don't I'll be sad and do it tomorrow
    430. @ddribin I'm not sure I see the point; it's just a new nest of static methods collecting the widely disparate ways things are created.
    431. Visualizing Shakespeare http://bit.ly/9ggvPo
    432. @theincomparable you should have a Twitter List for each episode's participants.

    437. PSA: Twitter is changing how they handle logins tonight at midnight. If you're using an older app, upgrade.
    438. PSA (part 2): If you have @Twitterrific for iPhone, get v3 from the app store (not an upgrade from v2; it's a new app).
    439. NASA joins Flickr's commons; tries to make me unable accomplish anything today http://bit.ly/ab6xHk

    442. HTML5 + Arcade Fire = http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/ Crazy impressive.
    443. @elizabeth_hess the background of the icon should be gray. If it's black or green, get the upgrade.

    449. This Tom Toles cartoon is kind of ironic in that Beck's Mormonism doesn't really recognize Christ, either: http://bit.ly/cw072C
    450. Good piece by @reihansalam, but ignores that Fox isn't just biased, it lies, and that is a cancer on the body politic. http://bit.ly/9cnMzI
    451. Chrome currently has 44 browser tabs open in 7 windows. Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed.

    454. I seem to have taken a rather circuitous route to end up where I started on this question #secretproject
    455. Just came across the #ftrs hashtag. Having no idea what it means, I've decided that "free the retarded salmon" seems about right.

    461. .@JssSandals millions of years of history has led up to humanity's current excellence in being incredibly stupid. #exhibitameetings
    462. @joshroby mine is much more colorful. Also: it's the definitive Google result.
    463. @daringfireball the other path is getting HTML5 to work well enough that Flash becomes needless. Apple is also following that path.
    464. @Joeburly Thank you for proving our point.
    465. @Joeburly only so that we could make dumb jokes about them.
    466. @Joeburly and I think wristwatches are pretty neat. But the two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
    467. The guys at @github are doing some amazing things on the software development collaboration front: http://bit.ly/9fCyTx
    468. Batch files are a blight.
    469. @JackArdisone congrats, little guy!
    470. @JssSandals government can work; let's please not claim otherwise #fightthepropaganda
    471. @JssSandals human organizations of all sorts are messy (see aforetweeted stupidity thread), but we should hope and lobby for effective ones.
    472. @Joeburly only inasmuch as it gets in the way of doing anything else, and we don't give all endeavors up as lost causes.
    473. @Joeburly avoiding government power just puts the power in unelected, unanswerable corporate hands.
    474. @Joeburly do you favor publicly-funded elections? I don't see any other way to get rid of "lobbyists." #hatethatframeset
    475. @robymom it didn't work; try again.
    476. @Joeburly nothing can remain uncorrupted; I just favor putting the powerful entities in plain site and subject to citizen review/censure.
  25. March ‘10 476 tweets
    1. Facebook stopped publishing RSS feeds. Now I have to use their crappy UI. Not happy. Get on Twitter, people.
    2. @nnw_mac my Facebook feeds were just stalled; not getting new items in app. Went to Google Reader; saw updates; refreshed NNW, saw updates.
    3. Convinced the RSS Gods to let me siphon off some more Facebook via their illicit channels. Pleased. But you should get on Twitter anyway.

    13. @nevenmrgan I did the same in the past few days. Could be nice if it was huge and popular, but it's neither.
    14. Apparently the Pat Robertson link is satire. Unfortunately it's all too believeable.
    15. @JssSandals The only problem with that is that we haven't made it.

    29. @bbum @siracusa the covers, obviously.
    30. @Andipandi9299 But Jack's got to start getting some experience down in the salt mines. Boy's got to put food on the table. And his head.
    31. Sadly, this is a good strategy: http://bit.ly/d9HxMB
    32. @gruber Don't they have to demonstrate damages, which would be hard without a shipping product? HTC has one; Google doesn't.
    33. @CfaSantaAna Dwarf Grill.
    34. @maddow my favorite part was the complete lack of what was accomplished at the end. Why did he go through all that?
    35. @timbray What should it be? A database trio of cylinders? A cloud? My vote: tablet and chisel. Second option: cuneiform.

    40. Kind of sad that tonight will not be the Filibuster Apocalypse, but happy Bunning has relented and people can have unemployment checks again
    41. @ebertchicago because they're also sure health care reform will destroy the nation. They're wrong, but that's why.
    42. "The Chronicles of Riddick" is quite possibly the most ridiculous movie ever made.
    43. @estetol Win Mail is an optional install from the website, now.
    44. @NickLassonde Yes, there was really no reason to even pretend they were related. Each stands alone just fine.

    102. Had a dream that @TheJointChiefs were having a meeting with @RobyMom in her living room while I talked to @BarackObama in her kitchen.
    103. 35 years ago today the Senate change cloture to be 3/5ths instead of 2/3rds. Today we should abolish the filibuster completely.
    104. @estetol I never said I like Microsoft products; far from it. Move everything to GMail? Get a Mac?
    105. @estetol We don't actually do filibusters anymore; we just threaten to. It's free airtime to the people being obstructionists.

    115. @PressSec That's a great book! Theodore Rex also good; eagerly anticipating part three of the TR biography trilogy.
    116. @joshroby He should probably look at Sid Meier's "Colonization." Lots of economics; less conquering.
    117. @joshroby I seem to recall that some trading and cross-training possible, tho. The natives could be helpful as well as barriers.
    118. @joshroby I want to play again and try for really small scale. Like a guild leader or a head of household. Latter would be emotionally hard.
    119. @lessig I'm going to guess that–if it works as advertised–it links to private frameworks to get the extra info, which is a no-no.
    120. @daringfireball They want the games– which work fine, as you say. Limit it to only "games" & everyone would just recatigorize everything.
    121. @lemmo How will glasses go away? You need those or the photo-optics don't work!

    123. @NickLassonde You have to give me a $300 refundable deposit in case you pop it.
    124. @lemmo "Right eye photons" need to be distinguished from "Left eye photons." The glasses do that distinguishing; I don't see a way around it
    125. The filibuster was created by accident when we listened to Aaron Burr, after he shot Hamilton. http://bit.ly/cWrd1t
    126. @lemmo interesting; sounds like photons are being filtered on the set screen cover itself and sent out at angles right for eyes. Crazy.
    127. @lemmo but "filtering light" generally means colors; "filtering photons" can mean so much more. This is the kind of thing smartydoos know.

    147. @thealkemist OpenDNS does wildcarding; unresolved names resolve to their ad server. Bad for non-web Internet. Look into Google DNS (8.8.8.8)
    148. @thealkemist they do not; Google is optimized for speed. OpenDNS has a pay option that bypasses the ads, IIRC.

    159. @thealkemist Yes, I'm just saying it's the least unnecessarily difficult *of the app servers.*
    160. @thealkemist I don't think Java-on-the-server is going away, and until it does the App Servers we will always have with us (Let's kill Java)
    161. @thealkemist Clojure and Erjang on the server will keep the JVM there for the forseeable future. Hopefully provisioning gets easier, tho.

    194. AARP will score the #hcr cloture and tell seniors that a vote against is a vote against their priorities. Very good. http://bit.ly/6I0TPV
    195. One day later, kind of disappointed Avatar did such a poor job “world building:” Pandora existed only for the movie; had no further depth.
    196. Doing our traditional pre-Christmas stay-up-far-too-late a little ahead of schedule.
    197. @JssSandals Wait until you have kids that have Christmas prep.
    198. MiniSquadron for the iPhone is free today, and it's good mindless fun. Reminds me of Empire Strikes Back for the Atari 2600. In a good way.
    199. Black Widow living in the spiket: Sorry I destroyed your home. In fairness, you scared the bejezus out of me & that was a dumb place to live
    200. @cozthegrov have you heard the new Here Comes Science album? Great stuff!
    201. Congratulations, US Senate, on actually getting something done. And thank you for picking something useful to do! (#hcr passed 60/40)
    202. @pvponline Let's go mine it! And let's not mine it in the plains; let's do it in the super-thick jungle where things try to kill us.
    203. Apparently "Unobtainium" has a long history of usage. Mocking usage. http://bit.ly/8Nsksp
    204. The filibuster is not only perverse, but it's a new development in our government. http://bit.ly/4SKdk1 We should abolish it.

    208. @joshroby True, the Na'vi are technically animist, but with a very large, central spirit coordinating the others. But that's a big 'but.'
    209. @joshroby That'd be true if they knew it was an AI, but it doesn't matter if their central spirit is artificial if they can't tell. Turing!
    210. @joshroby Yes, but they aren't distinguishing it from anything else; that's their whole understanding.
    211. @joshroby Also, this reflects the lack of world-building the movie did; you've gone and *invented your own backstory* to make it interesting
    212. This is much more interesting than the coding I could accomplish during this compile http://bit.ly/7aTGCU
    213. Come now, Google Sites: you are emailing me to inform me that my Site was edited… by me? Really?
    214. @apontious That article seems to think that the problem is Obama's lack of will. The problem is the Senate, about which he can't do much.
    215. @lemmo It's not Papyrus, but it's just as ugly.
    216. @siracusa The options are legion: http://bit.ly/next-os-x My bet's on Serval. Bobcat, Caracal, Lynx, Ocelot and Margay end the usable list.
    217. @thealkemist Oh no! Get better!
    218. @ezraklein does the manager's amendment have an employer mandate? Or does Free Rider still live?
    219. @wilshipley My toddler's book says "Bra-loo," which is as apt as any I've heard. "Trumpets" is the verb, though.

    242. @joshroby I remember thinking when I was ~12: progress moves forward; conservatives don't want to. So the progressives are winning.

    250. The chhildren are resting; all snug in their beds, and Santa and I are having a few pints. "Beats milk and cookies," he says.
    251. Santa's had a few too many, now. Telling me all the things people did to get on the naughty list. Hilarious stuff.
    252. Santa is now so tipsy I'm not sure I should let him fly alone. There are grandmas out there to worry about.
    253. @JssSandals And port. Everyone likes port.
    254. Rudolph doesn't know his right from his left. Santa is now passed out in the back, cuddling a teddy bear.
    255. Santa's gig is basically breaking and entering, then stealing baked goods. He leaves brightly-wrapped consumer goods as a calling card.
    256. There are a whole lot of presents in this sleigh. Calling in reinforcement Santas from shopping malls the world over.
    257. Now I have lots of drunk Santas instead of just the one.
    258. Elves have arrived with smelling salts, peppermint and tabasco. Seems like this isn't the first time this has happened.
    259. Legolas brought me home; told me to stick to milk and cookies next time. Good advice. Time to get some sleep.
    260. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
    261. Christmas with the family. It's kind of weird that we do this completely different thing *once a year* and think that it's totally normal.
    262. Q: What is the best Christmas Song ever? (Hint: it's "Little Drummer Boy")
    263. @the_meghatron bring a tree in; give gifts to all; sing songs for the occasion; get together; eat special foods.
    264. Happy boxing day! Who are you boxing to celebrate?
    265. Have now spent the last two hours taking toys out of packaging, in the true spirit of un-boxing day.
    266. @paulandstorm and getting fatter by the lying day.
    267. At Ikea buying bins to store new toys in. Giving the gift of storage is a Boxing Day tradition.
    268. Thinking about language design, primitives, and objects, as is appropriate on Boxing Day.
    269. I'll miss D'Anna. Boxing Day is sad, sometimes.

    284. @timbray Maybe we're trapped in a Monty Python sketch, where the reactions have no correlation to the impetus. "I'll have soup." "Goldfish!"
    285. I like me some Taco Bell, and I like me some Chalupas, but this XXL Chalupa looks revolting. http://twitpic.com/vmnzd

    299. @JssSandals Use more; less need to spread.
    300. My home-grown JavaScript ASP unit test suite is one of the more interesting bits of code I've ever written. Too bad JavaScript ASP is dead.
    301. @wilshipley But the extent of Pandora was the bounds of the movie; there was nothing that hinted at more to explore.
    302. @wilshipley Star Wars and Lord o the Rings use a "used world" to get that feel; Pandora could have had ruins but the noble savage myth can't
    303. @wilshipley could be, but you have to invent them; Cameron didn't. Everything you see comes back. Good editing, but poor world building.
    304. Left early to hear Carl Kassel's last newscast, and while backing out of my garage got rear ended. Missed the newscast. /cc @WaitWait

    324. @joshtpm Nothing could rationalize that mustache.
    325. @lemmo I pity people who have to wear pants. So let's call it a draw.
    326. @lemmo Typical Minnesota take, the idea that pants are negotiable. I'M WEARING SHORTS NOW BITCH.
    327. @lemmo Don't get me wrong; Snow and Ice Palaces are damn awesome. I just don't want this stuff at my house.
    328. @lemmo You say "dirty hippie bum" like it's a bad thing.
    329. @codinghorror That's a vile smear. We're just considering dating while we decide if we both want the same things out of life.
    330. @the_meghatron That's about a thousand times more emphatic than I'd have gone.
    331. @SonjaRoby That's much closer than @the_meghatron's reaction to the emotion I was going for.
    332. @SonjaRoby I'll be there! And that's a party! (not a party: our toddler who's not taking her nap)
    333. #10yearsago I was trying to convince @SonjaRoby to go out with me during my freshman year in college.

    40. Without any prompting, @MikaylaRoby bites her Teddy Graham and giddily exclaims "I ate his face!"
    41. @fraserspeirs what about lazy loaded attrs? Those can be computationally expensive, but accessors are the right place for them.
    42. Driving @SonjaRoby's car. I have to use this weird metal thing to start it, and it refuses to open the doors for me.
    43. Bought Tres Tropical Red Raspberry Salsa. Tastes like normal salsa, then has an aftertaste of raspberries. Makes for odd but delicious tacos
    44. Post-vacation decompression. Mostly just unpacking and being asked by @MikaylaRoby to "help her" play with her toys.
    45. @JssSandals this hallelujiah sounds suspiciously like complaining.

    51. How have I gone my whole life without owning these Star Wars Trash Compactor bookends? http://bit.ly/voWBh
    52. The Chevy Volt's MPGs are a big stinking lie. I *really* like the car, but they use very bad math to arrive at the 230MPG number.
    53. Here is a good explanation of the Volt's chicanery: http://bit.ly/xVkZR (They count battery miles toward gas usage rate)
    54. Steven Pearlstein points out some of the lies about health care reform that are out there http://bit.ly/r13DD
    55. @marcambinder Those numbers are incredibly misleading. Uses 40 miles on battery (whole charge) + 10 miles on gas / .2 gallons used = 250.
    56. @marcambinder Here's more info on how they got those numbers: http://bit.ly/xVkZR

    64. @daringfireball @gruber MS is probably in violation of this (lame) patent, tho. SW patents are terrible, but this one's not inane, at least.
    65. @paulandstorm should try to popularize the hashtag #WeLoveYouGuySmiley
    66. I'm always tempted to use the gas nozzel like a gun and see how far it actually shoots. Y'know, for science.

    75. @mattyglesias I always assumed it was a child-of-love versus child-of-familial-duty sort of thing.
    76. @joshroby People are being investigated by the Secret Service. Sad part: this is pretty much how it happened in 1994, too.
    77. @JssSandals Omelets are weird at all times, day or night. Contrariwise, waffles are delicious at all times.
    78. @thatwhichmatter But what about Ensure vs Assure?
    79. @chockenberry You could make the Mac version of @Twitterrific do the won't-post-with-141-chars-but-will-let-you-type-it trick.

    89. @greterachel the Melting Pot is proof that mankind is worth saving.
    90. Original #bsg was fun but not good. Reimagined #bsg is just the opposite.
    91. Have now had Civ on my iPhone for 5 days; have finished the game 3 times. Revolution is very smartly designed for speed.
    92. In America, Crazy Is a Preexisting Condition http://bit.ly/tYyAS (would like to see what examples are on the left, too)
    93. Computer has decided to stop respondng to input; screen flashes black every few seconds. Revenge for neglecting it to play Civ over weekend?
    94. Had noble intentions of cooking dinner at home tonight. Naturally, the power went out and we have an electric stove.
    95. Unrelatedly, battery in smoke alarm decided that today was a good day to die. Cathedral ceilings = top step of the ladder to reach. Perilous

    98. Having a debate on a company listserv about how much C++ sucks.

    105. @joshroby @robymom The Prisoner remake looks terribly unlike the original Prisoner, but looks interesting in it's own right.
    106. @Andipandi9299 Hooray!
    107. @joshroby I would pay $20 for CivRev/iPhone and still think it was worth it.
    108. @AndrewArdisone Hooray!
    109. @rentzsch No, we're cheering the congressman who is actually calling the crazies crazy.
    110. @rentzsch Ignoring the crazies is how we dealt with Swiftboaters in 2004. It doesn't work. We need to say "you are lying."
    111. @rentzsch And when they keep yelling louder, and the media covers it as a he said/she said?
    112. Now sitting in my office, tethered to the internet via my iPhone because our network is down.
    113. @rentzsch But 1 side is trying to debate; the other is lying. Frank (colorfully) pointed out the lies. Which is the problem: color or lies?
    114. @fraserspeirs The Outrage Conservation Act of 1983 cut funding for new sources of outrage; we are stuck with the few we have.
    115. The only problem with Twitterrific 2.1 for iPhone is that my phone can't yet see it in the App Store.
    116. @KevinHartsock Get thee behind me, tempter!

    118. Went swimming with @MikaylaRoby. Pleasantly tired.
    119. @unWrittenSG I was going to come with you, but my brain thought that yesterday was Tuesday. Bleh.
    120. Once again, network is down, so tethered through the phone. Should have brought my power cord.
    121. @SJGames And yet, Wendigo Wedding seems like it might be a not-half-bad silly card game.
    122. @LauraBishop Open Twitterrific; new tweet; little camera icon; 'from library'; click photo; auto uploads and inserts URL.
    123. @rentzsch Typical day-later undrstanding: When someone calls you a Nazi sympathizer out to kill the elderly, outrage is the proper response.

    129. I like every piece of this collaboration, but the whole sounds like a terrible idea: http://bit.ly/WjoJY

    171. Health Care Reform, explained on napkins (a medium near and dear to my heart): http://bit.ly/1ny9GW #hcr

    174. @ezraklein Reading your chat, you apparently don't know abt http://bit.ly/tNkEU (which appears to be offline atm)
    175. Went and saw Bolt at church tonight under the open sky. Great night out with my girls.
    176. Right now @MikaylaRoby is running around yelling about Snow Leopard, but she means Bo, who lives at the Santa Barbara Zoo.
    177. Going to go pick up a copy of Snow Leopard.
    178. Synecdoche as a (Bad) Journalistic Device: Dating Edition http://bit.ly/n1GDG (via @mattyglesias)
    179. @robymom Try plugging it in to a computer. Sometimes that'll kick it in the head.
    180. In hindsight, even though it worked out fine, Installing Snow Leopard probably wasn't the smartest way to test this new optical drive.
    181. The fact that this looks so pretty will make it harder to scrap on the minor account that it doesn't work right. #ExtJs
    182. Watching Discovery launch and eating Otter Pops.
    183. Single dad for the morning as @SonjaRoby goes to a meeting. That means swimming, bike riding, and Taco Bell!
    184. @joshroby you can also do “smart quotes” and £øt§ °f «štüff» by holding.
    185. The problem with swimming for excercise is that it devolves into finding the least effecient way to tread water.
    186. I'm glad that they managed to get Jamie Bamber back for the #bsg finale; but I missed him in all of season 4.
    187. Also, did the writers of the #bsg finale get paid by the flashback?

    189. Looking forward to the #bsg spin-off that follows a Baseship full of Cylons as they wander the universe in search of nothing in particular.

    191. Disney bought Marvel! I look forward to the X-Men/Mickey Mouse crossover material. http://bit.ly/6lbE4

    2. @SonjaRoby it's okay; if you run into hard times you can live at my house.
    3. This is a really different view of the Ten Commandments than I've ever heard before. I like it a lot. http://bit.ly/12QINr

    5. @unWrittenRPG Was the laughter before or after your intentions were made known?
    6. Watching Octopussy as part of our long-running effort to NetFlix all the Bond films. This opening sequence has terrible music.

    21. Funny! http://www.hulu.com/watch/6...
    22. @mattyglesias Your twitter icon didn't work!
    23. @mattyglesias Try resending. It looks like Twitter didn't do all the sizes right, so some clients aren't getting it.

    32. Just accidentally hit a btn in SQL Server Management Studio. No idea what it's supposed to do, but if "peg the CPU for 60s" is it, good job!

    37. http://foreversnotsolong.com/ is a pretty awesome little short about the end of the world, and one way to spend it.
    38. @joshroby No you're not. You'll get thru three shows and think "I should never watch any more of this horrible, horrible Star Wars ripoff."
    39. @joshroby Oh, and: TURBO!
    40. @NickLassonde That's called a belly button. It's been obviated by the "mouth" as a feeding mechanism, but never goes away.

    42. Time to see if one of the three backup systems I'm using is worth the cycles.
    43. Dear Mozy, I know that there's almost a thousand files in this directory, but 185MB should not take 45 minutes in "Preparing Files…" -Seth

    67. @Andipandi9299 she bought a copy of @twitterrific, the app we use to read @twitter, which means she gets n ad-free experience (free has ads)
    68. @joshroby what in the world are you talking about? You only hve two brothers who want you dead.

    72. @AndrewArdisone I only talk to invisible talking dogs. Is this hypothetical unknown dog visible or invisible?

    83. How we're going out Mikayla today: put "The Loco-Motion" on speakers, on repeat. Watch her run around the house singing along.
    84. @robymom that's what direct messages are for. Or, y'know phones.
    85. iPhone Oregon Trail is totally worth $6. Beautiful; nice update to a classic; neat additions & smart streamlining of clunky old mechanics.
    86. Only complaint about @TheOregonTrail for iPhone is that it never mentions how to save. It autosaves whenever you ENTER a fort (I think).
    87. @whitehouse_rss You're repeating yourself. A lot. And you're probably not listening to replies, either, but I thought I should tell you.
    88. Our XO Laptop records movies in Ogg format. What a pain in the ass.
    89. I lost the pool, so @the_meghatron can now be pregnant forever, since there's no money in it for me, anymore.
    90. @robymom In that case, I can support a birth. Also, I suppose it opens up the possibilities for other pregnancies and other pools later.
    91. @robymom I think that's what snickering is for.
    92. Alarm went off at noon. I hit snooze. Or, I accidentally turned it off. I thought it was a particularly long 9 minutes.
    93. No no no, @lemmo: you've got it wrong. Once you get your food, then your tweet "Mmmmmmmm... Chipotle!" cf http://bit.ly/mmm-chipotle
    94. Just showed Mikayla the Wild Things trailer. Four times. Because that's how she does these things.
    95. Meant to attach this photo to previous tweet: http://twitpic.com/2g50e
    96. I made it to Oregon w/ all 5 members of my family still alive! Granted, an eagle stole my son, but we got him back. & I shot the next eagle.
    97. @joshroby Good luck! Keep us posted!
    98. My plan is going as expected, and @NickLassonde is right where I want him... BWAHAHAHAHA!
    99. HOA is resurfacing our pool. Currently in the sandblasting phase, aka "make a continuous loud screeching noise that drives u slowly insane."
    100. @spolsky because the only thing you do with your machine is boot it repeatedly?
    101. iMovie '09 is a device that you put clips into and miracles come out. This software is astounding.
    102. Nice map of the work being done @ Westmont http://bit.ly/westmont-mast... & check out the flybys http://bit.ly/westmont-buil...
    103. Today's #FollowFriday: @cwalken is high-larious.
    104. Today, I will be live-tweeting traffic school! The excitement, the glory, the useless tidbits of information you don't need! Stay tuned!
    105. As I pulled into the parking lot, it suddenly occurred to me that I should probably drive carefully; I'm surrounded by bad drivers.
    106. Bill Clinton is introducing our class, not-so-live from the White House.
    107. Paula Zahn, Tim Allen and Hammer (no idea) are telling me how to avoid hydroplaning via "the magic of computer animation."
    108. Scott Bakula jut explained that, while in TV he jumps thru time, in the real world he lives "right here in the present," AKA the mid-ninties
    109. It's bothering me that the road signs in this video aren't in Highway Gothic.
    110. @robymom I had a disagreement with a red light.
    111. Barbara Mandrell just explained that you should "always wear your seat belt" and that there are no exceptions. I am breaking this rule now.
    112. There is both a no phones and a no hats rule. And I thougt the court was the home of justice.
    113. Hammer is neither MC nor Sledge nor The Hammer. No internet option in OC. And I am not wearing pants. Just shorts. #megareply
    114. Theme in our class seems to be "people I have known.. Who have died in car crashes. Also: people who have killed others." It's a happy class
    115. Sitting behind me in class is a couple who coordinated their classes. Row in front of me has three friends. I don't know enough miscreants.
    116. No, no: we covered motorcycles. Also drag racing and trains. Apparently trains are bigger than cars. I wouldn't have known w/o this class.
    117. @robymom I learned that I might've bn able to get out of it by claiming I didn't have enuf room to come to a controlled stop #themoreyouknow
    118. Traffic school is not the most fun way to spend a Saturday. Kind of sad it mostly consists of warnings not to do things I didn't do anyway.
    119. Freedom!
    120. #awkwardmomentfromthefuture when we move next and we tell the realtor that we can only look at places within walking distance of a 7-11
    121. Apparently, that guy WAS MC Hammer, after he had dropped the initials and outfit. My repeat apologies for the error.
    122. @robymom not so sure abt this whole "just start over" strategy. Ben was furthest from today, so he gets today? Shouldn't we rpeat backwards?
    123. Now we get to the part of the March Madness bracket where, instead of just relying on the rankings, I was forced to make things up.
    124. Playing "Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego" with my lovely and talented wife. It was a free toy in a kids meal at Chik-fil-a!
    125. Actually in the office today for the first time in a week, but unlike @KevinHartsock I didn't set off any alarms when I entered.
    126. Just had my computer lock up and need a restart for the first time in months. That seems both normal and strange.
    127. Just found out my office is moving on May 1st. Good news: moving closer to my house. Bad news: not close enough to reduce the toll I pay.
    128. @SonjaRoby the only cure is to play more Rockband tonight, to find a new song to get stuck in your head.
    129. Skype for Mac doesn't store it's password in the Keychain. Trying to remember what it is so I can log in using Skype for iPhone.
    130. "Few realize that real eggs used to be seasonal. Even fewer know that the egg was once a speculative [financial] tool." http://bit.ly/zVpn

    1. April Fools is almost enough to cancel out all the good the internet does the rest of the year. Almost.
    2. @gapingvoid Silverlight's big idea is "Let's kill Flash because we don't own it."
    3. I checked in code to Dev that allows us to collapse log groups.
    4. @fraserspeirs The only problem with Robocop is that I keep thinking "Why is Buckaroo Bonzai half-robot all the sudden? Wasnt he cool enough?
    5. @NickLassonde has his first "Twoosh" (see http://twitter.com/rentzsch...)
    6. If @NickLassonde had been running Twitterrific, he would have gotten a nice sound affect.
    7. Checked in code to -Dev that allows us page logs (20 per page). Going home with one less ticket in my to do list.
    8. @rentzsch will be disappointed; Screen Sharing locks up when the timeout happens, as it uses the same graphics channel.
    9. @rentzsch will find more to like in that method; you can at least kill -QUIT things. But unsaved documents (and modal diags) wont cooperate
    10. Who the heck is B. Johnson, and how did he win the office brackets? Or, if he's just some guy who joined in, congrats to @KevinHartsock.
    11. Well, he's not on Twitter, so I pronounce @KevinHartsock the Twitter-winner of the pool. Claim your cupie doll.
    12. Unlike @lorenbland, I held a garage sale and gave everything away.
    13. Hrm, maybe 2pm is lunchtime. My stomach seems to think so.
    14. Taco Bell had no Mt. Dew; didn't tell me until after I had paid, or I would have walked out and gone to the next Taco Bell down the road.
    15. Gotta pack for our trip up to Santa Barbara. Exciting stuff.
    16. Now in Santa Barbara, doing Exciting Stuff.
    17. Feeling as if I have neglected Twitter since I'm in the same room as the rest of the team.
    18. LAN Installation bug fixed; checked in to -Dev as r2552.
    19. Bought some Glad ForceFlex trash bags. They are made out of Crazy, but seem to work well.
    20. Checking out http://tinyurl.com/3vpade, which is a good developer-oriented Google App Engine overview.
    21. Mikayla ate some cat food this morning while everyone's back was turned. Just grabbed a gob and stuck it in her mouth sans the usual playing
    22. Working from home today because I feel like I've been run over by a bus full of clowns.
    23. @DerekRodrigues has a good idea, but our cats will eat anything. Gandalf likes bread. Persephone eats plastic.
    24. Wondering why @chockenberry thinks that talk about Popeman and brackish Brita water will offend.
    25. Apple vs Microsoft in a nutshell: Apple used to make terrible videos: http://xrl.us/bjhht, MS still does: http://xrl.us/bjgyj
    26. Reason to dislike Windows #19382: One of the files installed by this driver is named hpqint09.dat and thats not an unusual Windows file name
    27. Computing from the balcony.
    28. Listening to the Most Unwanted Song: http://tinyurl.com/6yoyxx
    29. @NickLassonde Well, that link is to an explanation of the song, which is funny enough without actually listening to the (terrible) song.
    30. [Later today at Space Mtn] Me: "Party of 16." Cast Member: "That's more than one train." Me: "You think I didn't Twitter that this morning?"
    31. I can breathe thru my nose for the 1st time in a week. Feel like running thru a field while music plays and a voice warns about side effects
    32. @NickLassonde Oh, I've got to go with IE on this one. Outlook is annoying for us. IE makes the web worth less.
    33. Why is it that when I give my cats food, they stand at my feet and meow at me, as if *this time* I was going to eat it myself?
    34. @KevinHartsock is surely mistaken; BUDR doesn't *have* problems, BUDR *is* problems.
    35. Y'know, I'm a pretty huge political junkie, but even *I'm* getting bored of this. Not frustrated (though, that, too), but *bored.*
    36. Reading to try to figure out what Live Mesh is, until I remember who Ray Ozzie is, and think "Oh, it's Internet Lotus Notes. Pass."
    37. 1st half of http://xrl.us/bjqdp paints Mesh as a Google App Engine competitor. Think Rails/Django/ASP.NET + Hosted Env + Identity + Syncing.
    38. Syncing seems to be the primary focus, but they're talking about it like it's a starting point for much more.
    39. And the sync is all Atom and RESTful, which is very nice.
    40. However, the Mesh icon looks too much like the AOL logo. Not a connection you should try to make for your live-online service.
    41. @NickLassonde So ignore Silverlight. I clicked the lower 'Watch' link and streamed it into VLC...
    42. That's a great blank page you've got there, @lorenbland.
    43. The Ultimate Machine has a switch. When you flip it, a little hand comes out and flips it back. That's it. It's perfect. http://xrl.us/bjrws
    44. My new nephew (Mikayla's first cousin!): http://tinyurl.com/6bowx7
    45. @DerekRodrigues has it backwards; when my wife snoozes the alarm, little hand should turn the buzzer back on so she gets up and I can sleep.
    46. Why do we vote on Tuesday? One of the things I learned today: http://xrl.us/bjtnc
    47. Inexplicably starving today. I ate breakfast! Twice!
    48. Oh, I am so following @triviabot. Thanks, @chockenberry!
    49. Mario Courtney(?) just arrived. http://tinyurl.com/4gxs4s
    50. Yeah, I was concerned Jott wouldn't understand, but "Mario Kart Wii" arrived today. And it's awesome.
    51. @gruber No, iPhoto is just dumb in this regard. Why can't it open inline? Who knows.
    52. I really like this talk Clay Shirky gave re: his new book. Great stuff. http://xrl.us/bjwjv
    53. On my walk to lunch, came very close to stepping on this sunbathing snake: http://xrl.us/bjws3
    54. @zefrank Connected.
    55. Mario Kart Wii is making it hard to go to sleep on time.
    56. @gruber It's a cross-browser thing.
    57. @fraserspeirs Spaces works great for me, but I'm a laptop user and have a "Show Spaces" hot corner, which doesn't seem to be a popular setup
    58. Just learned about __defineGetter__ and __defineSetter__ in Javascript. Awesome, but (typically) not supported by IE.

    1. @danwood And I used to like Flickr...
    2. Just got a robocall to "definitely vote." No candidate specified.
    3. @pvponline Deep magic from the OS9 days. Unless your system clock is screwey, don't bother holding down Command-Option-P-R at startup.
    4. @pvponline /me had to look this one up: http://xrl.us/bfpob. It's the domain name resolver for non-OpenTransport Internet apps. OS9 again.
    5. @pvponline All his hints are OS9 specific. He's pointing out all the maintenance hoopla we went through "before the reformation" Gone in OSX
    6. Man, Steven Pinker talks fast in these TED talks.
    7. 10.5.2 seems to have fixed the half-dimming annoyance on my MacBook Pro. Very nice.
    8. @timbray Transmission. http://www.transmissionbt.com/
    9. @timbray But there wasn't a no-twitter promise, was there?
    10. @rentzsch I've asked the normals around me, and no, they don't.
    11. @gruber I tried moving a 2GB file and it failed four or five times. I used the command line instead.
    12. @timbray Slow but working here in SoCal
    13. Finding out one setting I'm trying to work with is in a big registry blob. Grr.
    14. @EfrainOlivares You made it! (This is Seth)
    15. Wow: http://tinyurl.com/2ouelx
    16. Decoding a big binary blob to move the 'auto-detect proxy' setting. Ug.
    17. @Moltz It turns out we have code that reads this blob. Now the question is why it's not working...
    18. @Moltz That wasn't meant for you. Sorry.
    19. Wondering how everyone else tests package modification on non-development machines. Do you push it through KUSM, or just copy dlls and CLI?
    20. Rescheduling my flight back from San Jose
    21. My, that 8 min wait seems to last half an hour. My phone is obviously confused, too, as it agrees with me, and not American.
    22. Now, trying to determine why my Boot Camp partition disappeared after a crash last night. Tons of fun.
    23. Being relieved that my Boot Camp partition seems to be whole and happy. Now to get to testing powercfg...
    24. As I suspected, this MacBook Pro has some bad VRAM. Joy.
    25. @NickLassonde I'll take it to the Apple Store, which should make it easier.
    26. @fraserspeirs I try to Ctrl-Apple-' to Post to Del.icio.us from everything.
    27. Showing Sonja and Mikayla the office, and vice versa
    28. Just heard that the svn server is getting a reboot
    29. Updating XP to SP1, in order to *finally* test powercfg.
    30. @pvponline Just checked mine; Time Machine has all my POP messages, none of my IMAP. That makes sense.
    31. Discovering that if you shower at 4:30am, you get all the hot water you want. Not knowledge I hope to use again anytime soon.
    32. Listening to Mark
    33. Gearing up for Holy War
    34. @NickLassonde yay logs
    35. I am constantly amazed at how byzantine Microsoft's available downloads are. How is anyone supposed to understand it all?
    36. Trailing underscores? TRAILING UNDERSCORES?
    37. @KevinHartsock Welcome to the 21st century!
    38. Trying out the new network
    39. Dreaming of dynamic languages on the client...
    40. The SDK seems to be simultaneously over-engineered and lacking aids to actual work, like pushing data round, or showing it. It's all navigtn
    41. Glad that Mark balked at that, too.
    42. I'm balking that Lua has no classes, objects, arrays, sets, hash tables, lists, or records, and just uses "tables" for everything.
    43. @KevinHartsock You see, we've reinvented HTML/CSS/Javascript, but with *underscores*. Underscores make it better.
    44. Theming is the biggest non-feature of any product ever. I have never understood having your choice btwn multiple poorly designed UIs. Pick 1
    45. @MikeSheffey But that presupposes that themes allow them to diffrentiate *from something else*, and Im not sure too many ppl see lots o VSAs
    46. Only 90-odd lines for hellow world!
    47. @MikeSheffey I feel better only because it's not fresh in my mind. It's still a lingering sense of dread.
    48. I'm going to patent sitting in the back and making snarky comments. Then I'm going to sue @NickLassonde.
    49. @KevinHartsock My patent is for doing it *on the web*. It's completely different.
    50. @NickLassonde Like this slide
    51. Give me a task and some dry erase markers and I'm hap hap happy.
    52. Wondering just how long this conversation can go on.
    53. Working from home today. Going to pick up the MacBook Pro when the Apple Store opens.
    54. Going to pick up the MacBook.
    55. Back from the Apple Store, MBP in hand.
    56. Awesome: Billboard Liberation Front http://tinyurl.com/37umlk
    57. Heading back to the Apple store, reproduced problem in hand.
    58. Apple claims it's the 3rd party RAM. I found a way to reproduce it, so that's progress, at least.
    59. Took RAM out, no more problem. Put it back in, problem returns. Back to 3GB for now; calling the RAM company to make good on the warranty.
    60. Put the old chip back in (to go back to 3GB) and it still dies. So the problem's not the memory; it's the motherboard, or the OS. Reinstall.
    61. Tried it while booted to Windows; no problem. Choices are still OS or motherboard.
    62. Cutting my loses and trying to get something done today. I'll just avoid the problem, since I now know how to trigger it.
    63. Yeah, I'm adding some more logging stuff, but it's not gonna be tested by then. Don't wait on it.

    76. @elizabeth_hess to give the good folks at OKCupid credit, their ending with the hulls is much more sound and important.
    77. @ezraklein If you're just realizing it now, it's already too late. But wait for the 3G version.
    78. @Square Are those item-specific icons in the shelf at bottom? Who does the design work?
    79. "The iPad is a reality-enhancer… [it] is digital seasoning to your routine life." http://bit.ly/bsBmgx Great long piece /by @inhatko
    80. Just played with our IT guy's iPad. Resisted urge to steal it. Barely.
    81. Theory: iPad's Springboard is so boringly like iPhone's because we get the real new one on Thursday. #wishfulthinking
    82. @KevinHartsock Max, who we obviously pay too much. First he had an iPhone, then a Droid, then a Nexus One, now an iPad.
    83. @lemmo Not yet; still negotiating my way to a 3G model when they come out. I want the extra radio, even if I only use it rarely.
    84. @KevinHartsock Maybe I can buy the original, then pull a switch on him and take the 3G.
    85. @lemmo Especially having missed the OMG-Its-Day-One already; I can wait a little bit longer… I think.
    86. @lemmo That app does look amazing. I'm a fan of Brushes, too: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id363590649?mt=8
    87. @erinsells My experience is that the milkshake alone is often pushing the 900cal wire, but good luck.
    88. @lemmo OK, that sounds like a killer feature… for those of us who sold a kidney and bought Photoshop. ;) #ahappyacornuser
    89. @lemmo Yeah, you can find ways to do it. If I needed the power, I would, but my needs are modest. Acorn-sized: http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/
    90. @SonjaRoby @KevinHartsock I blame no one, for I have nothing but goodness and joy in my heart. #anddesireforanipad
    91. @lemmo Definitely; I'm a fan of Photoshop, but the last version I used was many versions ago.
    92. @lemmo Yeah, Adobe is doing some things that are just flat out magic.
    93. Interesting view of the individual mandate: "It's govt paying for your private insurance when your employer doesn't" http://bit.ly/cQ0DaS
    94. @wilshipley Delay; release update; send special code that changes their entire library to copies of embarrassing movies.

    115. @erinsells No, but I'm two hours away and those extra two minutes somehow matter in my mind.

    136. This article basically wins all caption contests ever. http://bit.ly/9tmL1a
    137. Is that the first time Apple has broken down numbers for iPhones vs iPod Touches?
    138. Double-tap home to bring up the app dock in iPhone OS 4; taking away function to jump to favorites/home/etc
    139. @chockenberry Agreed, but switcher + saving state is not a bad first approximation of multitasking. (Also, Pandora is real multitasking)
    140. All these demos are suspiciously iPhone centric. Not a single iPad on screen yet…
    141. So does single-tap always quit an app? Because that's gonna be annoying to relearn. #iphoneos4
    142. Game Center makes perfect sense and I didn't expect it at all. Bravo, Apple. #iphoneos4
    143. @chockenberry FREE TIBET WITH PURCHASE OF ASIAN CONTRY OF EQAL OR GREATR VALU.
    144. iAd is a terrible name. But Apple's goals of better ads sound good. #iphoneos4
    145. @emma_sandoe way, way above average. Other people keep theirs in drawers and I bring the average up.
    146. Leading with Multitasking and ending with ads is a bizarre choice. #iphoneos4

    152. I think this might just work.
    153. @IDLAGravette I think Apple is still a possible Palm buyer.
    154. @elizabeth_hess It brings some of the killer speed-and-stability features from Chrome into Safari… and every WebKit browser.
    155. @elizabeth_hess Chrome is moreso because it separates tabs from each other: http://bit.ly/9hEAI2 is a comic they made to explain.
    156. @pvponline Delicious Library: http://www.delicious-monster.com/
    157. @ddribin @gruber but that's just shared code in some library; it's not some different metalanguage compiled down to machine language, right?
    158. @ddribin Are we really assuming that vanilla C(++?) code that's in both projects is a "compatibility layer"?
    159. @ddribin Yes, but that's still code-in-the-project, right? Is RegexKitLite a "compatibility layer" for regexes?
    160. @ddribin yes, but in some sense all code is a compatibility layer between the idea and the hardware. Where does that become a problem?
    161. @ddribin Oh, I know; I just think your broad definition is problematic for each and every project. It's a terrible clause, and this is why.
    162. @rentzsch @ddribin and I were just having this conversation. Code is a compatibility layer between ideas and hardware.
    163. Extraordinary Dancing by the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers: http://bit.ly/cgyGeI
    164. @ddribin I think statically linked libraries and code copied into the project have to be "no"s, but the wording is ambiguous and terrible.
    165. Apostrophe Catastrophe: better as a band name, or a sequel to Eats, Shoots, and Leaves?
    166. Watching the #iphoneos4 video, noticing the multitasking puts most-recent-app at left of the switcher in a stack leading rightwards.
    167. @daringfireball Want to bet Adobe Ideas is not a Flash cross compile?
    168. #ff Trek edition: @WilliamShatner @TheRealNimoy @wilw @levarburton
    169. @IDLAGravette he might have, but I doubt they're on good terms anymore. But Palm's not-insignificant patent portfolio is reason enough 2 buy
    170. Apple's new thou-shalt-have-no-other-languages-before-C clause is profoundly stupid. http://bit.ly/aaYdy1
    171. Hahahaha http://bit.ly/aDM6dX #hcr
    172. .@daringfireball Apple initially pitched HTML as the dev environment for iPhone, then relented with native code. Will iAds follow that path?
    173. @nevenmrgan Indeed; the two stats are not part of some whole; why the pie chart?
    174. @mint Better still is/ to watch a movie you own / and have on the shelf.

    186. Almost bought @SonjaRoby a copy of People as a surprise. Couldn't bring myself to do it because it is the aforetweeted Justin Beiber mag.

    192. On this day in 1861 the War of Northern Being Right and Not Supporting Chattel Slavery began with the attack on Fort Sumter.
    193. @joshroby yeah, TextMate has "projects" that are similar. I use it for its crazy deep scriptability.
    194. Project I will never have time for: wrapper for UIWebView that allows JavaScript to drive the ObjC part of the iPhone app. Should be kosher.

    218. Unsure if I think my secret project is awesome because I built it and it works, or because I built it and it's awesome.
    219. @codinghorror Agreed; it is achingly engineer-designed.
    220. @codinghorror at least you guys use newfangled novelties like borders and colors. You're pointed in the right direction.
    221. @erinsells Yeah, but there's all this awesome stuff that I need to get done! I can sleep later!

    241. @viewfinderapp should make it easier to filter out CC SA images.
    242. @viewfinderapp should also auto-copy the attribution into the "Spotlight Comments" of the file. That's be keen.
    243. What grounds would Adobe sue Apple on over Flash? Antitrust? Meanness? Taste? http://bit.ly/9QYKFW
    244. @lemmo If Adobe wins, we get Flash, probably in some ClickToFlash-ish way. If Adobe loses, things stay the same. On the iPad itself.
    245. @lemmo Adobe could try to screw Apple by stopping Adobe products on Mac OS X, but that seems to be a dumb strategy: their users are there.
    246. @lemmo I think it's a "win" in the "more features!" sense, but it's a loss in the "competitors can tell you how to run your business" sense.
    247. @lemmo I'm not worried about Apple; I'm worried about precedent.

    268. It's amusing that QuickLook shows more window chrome for movies than QuickTime does.

    319. @paulandstorm I've heard it said that "the right likes to say that government can't work, and when they get elected they proove it's true."

    355. @KingsRook5 that (generally) means that it's a reply to me; I see it highlighted in my client and only people who follow me will see it.
    356. @KingsRook5 however, since you just typed it directly instead of actually replying to me, it's just a normal tweet with me "mentioned" in it
    357. @KingsRook5 you can also "dm" or direct message me, which goes only to me an no one else. Type "d TALlama message" to do that.

    23. @erinsells Wondering why corporations don't fix our society's ills strikes me as particularly un-Zinn-like.
    24. @erinsells Yes, but Apple did that in the way that Apple should. Changing society's priorities isn't Apple bailiwick, nor should it be.
    25. @erinsells In other words: yes, let's change these injustices! But let's not pretend that it's someone else's job.
    26. @erinsells Yes, which is a useful fiction, but is certainly problematic. Still trying to square that circle.
    27. @nevenmrgan Why did you bother to read them before?
    28. @bbum See, what you should have done is just straight up RT'd him.

    108. The American President is like farm league for West Wing actors, with brighter lights and huge, early nineties glasses.
    109. Other weird parts of The American President: 90s era obsession with crime; complete fantasy thinking about climate change passing; big hair.
    110. By far the weirdest part of The American President, though, is Martin Sheen walking around the oval office not being Jed Bartlett.
    111. Senator Reid talks about how holds are hurting the nation by making the gov't unable to function. Worth 3m of your time http://bit.ly/9UHvmA

    373. @Javierq424 Maneuver where? To do what? Political movements need goals, not just airy "stop the gridlock." Whaddya want to do when it stops?

    34. @joshroby I read the first paragraph of the acknowledgements; do you mean to tell me you expect me to read the rest?

    58. Being tormented by a housefly the size of an ox.

    85. The iPhone Goes to War: http://bit.ly/vAUgo (Via @JoshRoby)
    86. Tweetie for Mac also doesn't do the appear-when-you-have-new-tweets trick, which makes it pretty well useless. Back to Twitterrific.

    31. @JssSandals It was sent from the past to mock the future. And you have aided in its diabolical plan!
    32. The "Don't Click" thing didn't get me because Twitter refuses to remember me, even though I tell it to. Not logged in = not vulnerable.

    41. No Disneyland, so we went to the petting zoo, the playground, and out to dinner with my grandparents. Not a bad day out, all told.
    42. @SonjaRoby I concede the definition, but that is what Parnell Park calls it. @JssSandals calls it a "looking zoo" but that's just silly.
    43. @thealkemist if they serve things in addition to seafood, we're all for it. But if it's only seafood, we're not big fans.

    45. A Juror Are Me! Coming to a courthouse near you, April 6th.
    46. @unWrittenRPG I think you believe in Free Will and are calling it Freeish Will.
    47. @unWrittenRPG Free Will does not "imply no restrictions;" it implies only that we have agency in our decision-making. Your def is too broad.
    48. @unWrittenRPG That's like saying a plane isn't a plane because it's limited by gravity, and cannot fly into space. "It's just plane-ish."

    56. Jelly Car demos great, and is a lot of fun for the first three minutes. Then, it's just tedious. There's no new tricks to learn. I need flow
    57. Finally discovered what shirt pockets are for: pretzels.
    58. I took a shower this morning, and now I need to drive all the way to LA for another one? And not even a full-sized shower: a baby shower!

    67. Resisting urge to overlay this map of freeways SoCal planned to have (http://bit.ly/D2l4) with what we actually have.
    68. #NSOTU benefits quite a bit from HD; you can really see the individual members of congress, instead of just a faceless mob rising & sitting.
    69. Philip José Farmer passed away this morning. I only read a few of his books, but I liked them. http://www.pjfarmer.com/
    70. @JohnCleese your own or other peoples?
    71. @JssSandals email it to yourself. That's Notes' only export functionality.
    72. @unWrittenRPG So who pays the tow truck: you or the cab company?
    73. @brentsimmons got a NNW hang; isn't redrawing the main window. imgs + sample at http://bit.ly/10stOp Anything else you want before I quit?
    74. Off to Santa Barbara!
    75. In Santa Barbara!
    76. @brentsimmons No problem; just wanted to make sure it wasn't a WebKit 4 thing. Thanks for the awesome product!
    77. Home again!
    78. Mmmmm... Chipotle.
    79. Safely back in Costa Mesa.
    80. @JssSandals I want John Doe back, as long as they retcon the last two episodes. Or maybe Crusade.
    81. http://bit.ly/Dg9SQ is genius.
    82. ♫Happy birthday to @JssSandals! ♪Happy birthday to @JssSandals! ♬ Happy birthday to @JssSandals! ♮Happy birthday to Yooooooouuuuuuuu! ♬
    83. Via @duncan, this really is an incredible talk on creativity and "genius:" http://tinyurl.com/b6yvfk
    84. This fortune cookie sez: You are an adventurer - traveling on the highway of life. So true. So true.
    85. @Andipandi9299 Mikayla will race around as we all try to eat!
    86. @wilshipley But it's not as if you buy Girl Scout cookies and give them back to the girl scout. You eat them yourself! (At least, *I* do.)

    1. Up at 4:30am PST to check out and get a 1 1/2 year old ready for a wedding and a flight. Oh, and Sonja and I probably need to get ready, too
    2. At @NickLassonde's wedding.
    3. Landed at Sky Harbor with a thud. Unexpected plane swap, then on to Orange- wait, now we're staying on this plane all way to Orange County.
    4. @codinghorror needs DTrace for his platform.
    5. The Google Chrome introduction is in comic form just to make it awkward to read at your desk.
    6. Talk w/ our IT guy: I don't want antivirus software protecting me from nonexistant mac viruses. He: there are dozens of mac viruses. Me: :(
    7. Me: there are no in-the-wild exploits. He: yes there are. Me: No. He: then why is there Mac A/V sw? Me: so that people like you buy it!
    8. @pvponline Chrome is a new browser (based on WebKit, the renderer in Safari). Scott McCloud's intro comic is here: http://xrl.us/oo6e6
    9. @lorenbland Without d/l it, how I view Chrome: one more javascript engine to test for compatibility, one more "WebKit is awesome" vote.
    10. Would @timbray care to speculate on what the phase after is? Named args are just too nice to abandon.
    11. RNC live streaming is not HD, but makes up for it by having terrible sound and skipping every two seconds.
    12. They also just claimed Liebermann in their montage (you can have him) and MLK (I don't think so).
    13. @brentsimmons should begin with a punchline; that's the funny part anyway. Maybe (if the audience is good) give them the lead-in at the end.
    14. DevStudio decided that it needed to use 100% of the VMs CPU. For what, yu ask? Doing absolutely nothing, of course! I hear that's hard work.
    15. Retweeting @gruber because it's just too tempting not to. Listen to unknowingly open Republican mics re: Palin http://xrl.us/op4pr
    16. Welcome to my Twitter followers, @ DK1TLXA22RG3. I'm sure you'll be a valuable addition, what with your very insightful spam and robot-ness.
    17. @timbray I'm going to guess the bear is as real as the lion that's hiding behind the woman. AKA Not in any way.
    18. Congratulations on the upcoming family addition, @joshroby! (Even though I already knew, and such.)
    19. Yes, @JssSandals; that is bad. You should never be excited about Subway. You are permitted to be excited about Taco Bell, In-N-Out, or Panda
    20. This is incredibly impressive use of HTML: http://webdev.stephband.inf...
    21. Will @danielpunkass be getting it out of his system before they arrive, or are we to expect the fusillade tomorrow?
    22. Sorry, @NickLassonde; the massive traffic my followers create took the site down. ;)
    23. Twisted ankle on stairs. Hurts rather a lot. C'mon, Motrin!
    24. Currently speaking into the tin box the RNC uses for their streaming sound: Lindsey Graham, Know Nothing Party Presidential nominee for '12.
    25. RNC: When you list 6 attributes and 2 of them are THE SAME, it doesn't sound like emphasis: it sounds like parody. Maybe if it were 2 of 20.
    26. Tom Ridge over compressed video looks like a televangelist on old TV. Same hand motions.
    27. His speech is pretty good, tho. Wouldn't have been a bad VP pick.
    28. How can the GOP laud the Greatest Generation for "doing great things" while wanting to dismantle most of what they accomplished domesticaly?
    29. Piper Palin is the cutest Palin, and has a comic book character name to boot.
    30. How can you say he doesn't use the POW story much, @thecaucus? He tries to use it to deflect EVERY ATTACK.
    31. Guy on screen just now was flashing a sign that said "The Mavrick" Yeah, no e.
    32. First they play a song from California Adventure, and now Guitar Hero. Obviously gunning for the youth vote.
    33. @nprpolitics That orchestral piece sounded like the main theme from "The Right Stuff"
    34. Ankle still hurts. Working from home with an ice pack instead of hobbling into the office.
    35. @capt_bloode My jaunty-hat-wearing stipend only goes so far; I also program to make ends meet.
    36. @danielpunkass Data URLs aren't very cross-browser, though, so watch out if that's something you need to think about.
    37. Going to game night with some friends. Hope I can make it down the stairs.
    38. Now my foot is a nice purple color. http://twitpic.com/ajho Less pain, though.
    39. Playtesting @joshroby's next game.
    40. I drank all of THIS... Orange Juice.
    41. Bad Apple: the new iTunes comes with a "Read Before You Install" that looks like a document (has the icon) but is actually an app.
    42. In case the Large Hadron Collider DOES destroy the world tomorrow, it's been nice knowing you all.
    43. I was wondering when John-McCain-on-a-green-screen would catch up to him, and @gruber as found it: http://tinyurl.com/6jcgfq Funny as hell.
    44. Well, if the Large Hadron Collider won't destroy the world for us, we'll just have to take matters into our own hands!
    45. 7y ago today, I was in English class. Couldn't load CNN during our break; we told the prof, who dismissed class; I called @NickLassonde
    46. Congrats, @lemmo; you'll have a lot of fun with her.
    47. Mikayla loves Panda Express chow mien. "Noodles!" she cries, in between exclamations of "Panda! Little Panda! Upside Down Panda! Panda!"
    48. I like Joe Klein. Always have. Even when I disagree with him, he's sharp and insightful. Here he's that & I agree w him: http://bit.ly/ZB95j
    49. The bathroom at tv Newport Rib Co has a dental floss dispenser.
    50. @wisequark has a point, but that's why Apple should just allow whatever passes clear, *public* rules.
    51. New Gates/Seinfeld ad makes marginally more sense than the first one: http://tinyurl.com/3rb9kr
    52. "Don't talk about Sarah Palin that way, @wilw!" (see @wilshipley @ https://twitter.com/wilship...)
    53. I was just about to call @NickLassonde to see if he was alright (AKA not in the train crash) but the Twitters tell me he is. Hooray!
    54. @the_meghatron should listen to her dream. Studies say that (in the case of sex of your unborn kids) it's something like 80% accurate.
    55. Dear VMware Fusion: please stop "doing an online commit" and let me use my computer again. KTHXBAI.
    56. Okay, I'm beginning to really like stackoverflow.com. Congrats, @codinghorror and crew; this is really slick.
    57. Wondering if @Moltz's "economy-sized bottle of gin" is frugal and therefore smaller, or the size of the whole economy, and therefore larger.
    58. Preparing for the end of the world. (said world is Agora, in @joshroby's game, so be not afraid)
    59. Do not despair, @joshroby: there is still time!
    60. Might I suggest that @timbray try Rosalina on the Wario Bike. It's my personal favorite combo.
    61. Taking a couple hours off to watch Mikayla while Sonja goes to the dentist. Fun for the whole family!
    62. Mikayla is watching the Care Bears movie on DVD. Man, this is some awful animation.
    63. Also, Care Bears movie has (predictably) horrible 80s soundtrack, heavy with synth keyboards.
    64. CNN is obviously using new math "CNN's latest poll of polls... shows him ahead of McCain by two points, 47-44 percent." http://bit.ly/DVZLw
    65. Suddenly realizing that I've taken this train of thought so far I've forgotten where I was headed. I think I missed my station.
    66. @lemmo I didn't upgrade, but I'm running paid apps on two phones right now: mine and Sonja's. See http://bit.ly/26iG6s
    67. Had a good idea last night. Couldn't remember it this morning. While racking my brain, had an awesome idea.
    68. Also: Avast, me hearties! It be talk like a pirate day!
    69. Hit a breaking point sometime yesterday. All this stuff that used to be under my "too low level to care" line at work is now above it.
    70. Congrats to @lemmo on his wedding day!
    71. We found a secret bathroom inside the Tiki Room waiting area!
    72. Being very quiet so that Mikayla can fall asleep. Hotel rooms are just so much fun!
    73. iPhone app idea, given freely: given a GPS location, what's the going price for a condo? A single family residence? A storefront? Etc.
    74. I ♥ Bernie Sanders: http://tinyurl.com/3jc7y7
    75. Mikayla has a built in GPS receiver that makes her sick whenever we travel more than 50 miles from home.
    76. Did Rusty's pizza get worse since I was in college, or did my expectations get higher?
    77. Wait wait wait... Bono has a blog? http://blogs.ft.com/mdg/ (not a joke; it's actually Bono)
    78. Red Robin's for dinner. Back onto the freeway!
    79. Working from home because my car is in the garage, behind a freshly-paved road that I cannot drive on.
    80. Mikayla's crib was recalled! Joy!
    81. Her crib is a Jardine, Windsor model. Coupon for a new crib has been requested via the appropriate channels.
    82. Walking to 7-11 to buy ice cream so we can make milkshakes.
    83. I can't go in to work tomorrow; I am urgently needed to hammer out the financial crisis in DC and will be occupied w/ that instead (h/t TPM)
    84. @bbum @danielpunkass Taco Bell : Mexican Food :: Art : Reality. Good for what it is, not meant to be a substitute.
    85. @NickLassonde The slats aren't as strong as they should be, so they could break and prevent a strangulation hazard. Unlikely, but dangerous.
    86. Well, that depends on what the compromise is, doesn't it, @ricksanchezcnn?
    87. All the third-party candidates are offering to take McCain's spot in the debate. It's a Trap! It'll only associate Obama with the cranks.
    88. I assume someone already told @fraserspeirs this, but Fusion is just the front end, and the VMs run independently in the bg as vmware-vmx
    89. Three months of expense reports speeding through the internets on their way to accounting.
    90. @ricksanchezcnn The Palin interview on Couric scared me. I was impressed by Couric's interviewing, and depressed by Palin's answers.
    91. Wait... is Hugh Hewitt making sense, now? When did that happen? http://tinyurl.com/4ccajg
    92. Walked down a flight of stairs without a brace on my ankle– at a nearly normal pace– and it only hurt a teensy bit. Progress!
    93. Heading to my parents' house for debate watching and spaghetti.
    94. Cleaning house by myself to make up for the fact that Sonja has done it by herself the last two times (1 due to travel, 1 due to injury)
    95. Left to my own devices, top to bottom house cleaning is ~4hrs. With Sonja, we somehow manage the same work in... 4hrs.
    96. I got what sounds like the same faux MobileMe email a month ago, @ddribin. VERY believable, but it was afternoon and I was awake.
    97. I've got 12 apps running right now. That's a pretty normal load. One of those apps is VMware, hosting a single VM with 4 apps runing. Et tu?
    98. Twitter gets rather quiet at 2 in the morning.
    99. Okay Dropbox is awesome. http://www.getdropbox.com for the goods. http://tinyurl.com/6yvzbe shows you how it works.
  36. November ‘07 10 tweets
    1. Signing up for Twitter
    2. Swapping Subversion Repos
    3. Trying out Cenon <http://www.cenon.info/frame...>
    4. @gruber Isn't there some library out there that could power a one-archive-viewer-to-rule-them-all plugin? tgz, zip, 7za, etc...
    5. Getting two ADC emails from Apple, because I'm registered twice. I really should fix that sometime.
    6. Why does VisualStudio put a Class1.cs in every new project? Does anyone ever use that file? "Oh, yes, that's the name I want: Class1"
    7. An alias to a Folder, when placed in the Dock, behaves almost like a Folder in Tiger's Dock (but no click-and-hold for contents)
    8. Why does clicking on the 'Control Panel' in the Start Menu close the popup list? When would that *ever* be what I want to do?
    9. And while we're at it, why isn't there a way to turn of XP's screen saver? I can set the timer really high, but not *off*
    10. @rentzsch The classical cover: http://xrl.us/bb3k9. What an amazing thing Wikipedia is.
